That is definitely not what the word prepare means in that sentence. Its more like the meaning in the phrase "prepare a meal".

I'm guesssing that likely intent is so that the authorities could raid a large scale copyright infringment operation, and obtain convictions based on evidence of perparation alone. I.e. not have to catch anyone red-handed redistributing the prepared materials.

Kind of like how cops in some places in America can evidently arrest someone for DUI if that person merely walks to their car with their car keys, intending to sleep inside until sober.
