Definition of Direct:
1. in a direct line, way, or manner; straight: The path leads directly to the lake.
So: Site has copyrighted materials on it that they do not have permission to post ----> people visit site to get access to said materials ----> Site builds traffic and sells/displays advertising ---->profit.
The path from copyrighted materials appearing on their site leads directly to dollars in their hand.

so your idea of a valid definition is to cherry pick one of the conditions and ignore all the other failures like having intervening spaces (----> people visit site to get access to said materials ----> Site builds traffic and sells/displays advertising ---->) or has a delay (people visit site to get access to said materials ----> Site builds traffic and sells/displays advertising ---->)
if you definition was in any way shape or form right you would be able to give an example of INDIRECTLY profiting from copyright infringement that is completely different and could not be misrepresented as a straight line (by ignoring the forked conditions on that path like you just did)
