Having read the article on The Register, and The Pirate Bay's own blog post, I can't seem to find where TPB is complaining about having their intellectual property ripped off. All they seem to be doing is warning users about these proxies. Am I missing something? Here's the blog post from The Pirate Bay for those unwilling (or in the case of the UK, unable) to go there:

Not all proxies are Ok!
A lot of proxies in support of TPB are popping up, which is a good thing. But not all of these proxies are nice!
We've noticed at least 3 sites that are tricking users to buying access or similar. We do not condone this behaviour, The Pirate Bay is a free service!
If you've ended up on this page, we've re-hijacked you from the scam site (or you're a regular reader of our blog, but since we're writing boring stuff mostly, we think the first option applies). We'd want to encourage you to look for a reliable source on where to find a good proxy that works for you. The people at TorrentFreak usually have a good list of updated proxies. And if you can reach our original page, you should use that. It's always the safest thing to do.
Take care and don't get tricked. There's a war going on. It's the mafiaa against the people. Let's make sure that the people win.
