That is it. Torrent sites are DIRECTLY profiting off of copyright infringement. It might not be 100% of the profit that they make, but they are profiting off of it.
no you moron that INDIRECTLY profiting from it

A->B would be directly profiting as in i sell you infringing copyright material you give me money

A->B ->C would be be INDIRECTLY that being i provide a service which allows people to POTENTIALLY infringe on copyright, i get money from the independent third party advertisers.
