you are applying the definition of an INDIRECT transaction to the definition of a direct transaction even though the are the exact opposite.

Definition of indirect


definition of direct


your definition fails on both ends
it can not be direct because the "traffic generated" is both an intervening space in the process, a divider in the next in order, and a delay in the income flow. (fails to be direct)

Conversly it meets all the conditions opposite points in the definition of indirectly. (see above since they are opposites it just the reverse of the point i just made) (is indirect)

you really need to pick up a dictionary once in a while,
this is the copyright is theft vs fraud all over again, however at an even more elementary level (3rd grade reading and comprehension level).
We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

I see it like this.

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.
