That does not appear to have been defined yet. There is conflicting case law.

“The definition of publication in U.S. copyright law does not specifically address online transmission. The Copyright Office therefore asks applicants, who know the facts surrounding distribution of their works, to determine whether works are published.”
U.S. Copyright Office, FL-107
