It's a link to a site talking about how The Pirate Bay moved to N. Korea.
Torrent Freak mainly covers news regarding torrents, but they don't distribute anything. They are just a news site.

How ironical... Those who fight for freedom get sheltered by a dictatorship.

It's just an emotional rationalisation for what you did to make yourself feel better about it instead of an actual reason. "Psh, I'm superior to this company, therefore I'm allowed to download these games!"
I'm not saying I'm superior, it's a way of protesting, in my opinion. Not going to waste 50 € in a game that costs 15€. It's my message: If you want me to pay for it, make it affordable to everyone.

Doesn't really matter now anyway The Pirate Bay already released a copy of the sites code. Meaning that anyone can take a copy of the website and re-host it.
The Pirate Bay currently has hundreds of mirrored versions of itself. If anti-piracy groups want to get rid of them then tough luck. It's like playing whack-a-mole.
