The federal child pornography laws are fairly new and they apply basically, to activity on the computer. You could feel like you're not distributing it. However, if you have a file sharing program with somebody else, that could constitute distribution under the federal child pornography laws. Receiving it doesn't necessarily mean you've ordered it. It just means you're pulling it up on the computer. It's a very broad meaning and it can apply to you, so it's very important that you understand if your computer has been seized what you're up against in this type of situation.
