Hello M,
I can tell you why it is probably blocked. Piratebay has port 80 torrents,
which would then be routed back through tor, slowing the Tor network down.
It isn't in our interest to provide low latency semi-anonymous networking
just so people can download warez, infact, it hurts our cause.

I was unable to go to http://piratebay.org when exit node was
70.230.73.20.
All I got was an error, "Connection: close". Everything else was working
fine.
After couple of browser reload tries I restarted my Tor client, exit node
changed and I was able to open the site in question.
I dont think it's right that exit nodes censor stuff, of course I
understand
that some exit node operators feel like it's necessary. Well ok, I think
that it's ok to censor CP.
No, I was not seeking any illegal warez, I was doing hmmmm... Research!
:P
Well to be honest, I was looking one pre-release which I'm _really_ going
to
buy when it gets to stores. Didn't find it, oh the waiting... I'm not a
fan
of "warezing" some little bands albums... If I really like it I will buy
it
except if album has some shitty "copy protection".
Well, thats my 2 cents =)
