FYI this has absolutely nothing to do with TorrentFreak suddenly being anti-piracy. The only thing he's mad about is that the pirates are spoiling the game's story by publishing spoilers everywhere. It's not about the act of piracy itself, just the spoilers.

From Enigmax in the comments:

"The issue of the "copying and distributing" of information isn't what i'm complaining about, it's the idiots who want to ruin everyone else's enjoyment of what would otherwise be a first class experience."

Strange, it seems like the distribution of information is exactly what he's complaining about.

Game plot spoilers is equally valid (as distributable information) as the bits on the disc itself.

There's a difference between making information available and making it unavoidable.
