It seems Verizon lost the route to Pirate Bay.
Tracing route to thepiratebay.org [194.71.107.50]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.3.1
2 17 ms 7 ms 8 ms 10.41.13.1
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 P0-0-1-1.BFLONY-LCR-22.verizon-gni.net [130.81.136.28] reports: Destination net unreachable.
It is that time of year for network troubles, after all 🙂

I suspect there's a bit more going on here than simply a block on Verizon's end. The Pirate Bay is working fine for me now, although take note that their entire netblock for me, routes from my area, to NYC, to Europe (London and Amsterdam), back to the US, and right to China.
Here's a trace to thepiratebay.se: http://pastebin.com/CwWfJdcw
Here's a trace to NS4 for The Pirate Bay: http://pastebin.com/z7fHSJmR
We need to search this down based upon the netblock (source) a connection is on, in addition to what AS each netblock routes through. It's intermittent for me, and I'm sure I am on an entirely different netblock besides being under the same AS. The way Verizon handles their load balancing puts enough of a monkey wrench into things.
Also, take note that Hurrican Electric's data is at least a day old at this point. The Internet BGP tables are updating constantly. The chart you linked shows Verizon should have no involvement with Sprint in the path. Yet, why am I hitting Sprint to go from Europe to China?
Without seeing how Verizon has configured their backbone I cannot tell you how the backbone routers are handling the traffic. Also, as I do not have an enterprise connection to Verizon with an AS assigned, I am unable to see the BGP announcements. Lastly without knowing what specific routers are in use (likely Juniper) on Verizon's backbone I have no clue as to how quickly and correct they write the routing tables.

Or you could try google!
"Every time TPB becomes inaccessible thousands of people begin to worry that their ISPs have begun blocking or that something awful has happened to their beloved site.
However, the current downtime appears to be a routing issue as the site is still reachable in most parts of the world."
