Benefiting from content theft (Contributory Infringement) = a business entity generating revenue at the expense of a producer who does not receive due compensation for content responsible for generating revenue shared by the parties involved in the revenue generation. This would be for advertisers and site owners.

Piracy is the act of removing and uploading the content to the knowing infringing network in my opinion. This would be your members and renegades and owners of sites who do it on their own.

Someone else elaborate, I don't feel like thinking like a lawyer right now.
