It makes perfect sense.
Damian is now preaching morals to an industry where some have made scamming surfers an art form. Sponsors and affiliates who sent them traffic.

Misleading tours.
Sites filled with nothing but garbage.
Sites with garbage and loads of banners to other sites.
Mis use of credit card information.
Pre clicked join boxes.
Selling dating sites that have very few if any females.
Targeting surfers telling them there is a girl in the next town looking for them.
Sending out emails to keep those people spending money.
Shaving affiliates.

And probably more I have not thought of.

Now he's up in arms that this industry should be targeting pirates to make them pay for the content they downloaded.

Yes piracy of content always existed. The Internet turned it into an a billion dollar industry.
