Criminal case - Sentencing. Defendant who used Kazaa to download child pornography to his shared folder where they could be searched and downloaded by other Kazaa users was engaged in the distribution of child pornography; five-level distribution enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2G2.2(b)(2)(B) applies when a defendant downloads and shares child pornography files via an internet peer-to-peer file-sharing network, as these networks exist for the purpose of allowing users to share, swap, barter or trade files and thereby meet the Section's requirement that the defendant receive a thing of value, but not for pecuniary gain.
