Thanks Phil. I guess the confusion is that during the outages, it was reachable from everywhere except Comcast, Verizon and ATT-U-verse all at the same time. Every proxy, vpn etc tested worked fine. Also the fact that the traces dropped immediately and not far off on a far network. In addition to that. Other users on other ISP in the local area (cable-vision / optimum, NYC) had no problem. obviously not all providers are using the same routes to the same destination. Just that when a controversial site becomes inaccessible, questions start to be raised. I think it was also mentioned somewhere on some site that as far as the pirate bay was concerned, everything on their end was operating normally.

It looks like they use different upstream providers for each prefix, probably hosted in different locations.
The 194.71.107.0/24 prefix on my network was withdrawn by Ataro, and is now reachable via this path:
194.71.107.0/24 *[BGP/170] 00:04:34 AS path: 3356 3320 3320 24961 24961 24961 24961 39138 22351 131279 51040 I, validation-state: unverified
The 4 minutes isn't really a good thing.
This is the other prefix, via RETN who we also peer with.
194.14.56.0/24 *[BGP/170] 1d 07:15:42, MED 0 AS path: 9002 197595 51040 I
AS 24961 is myLoc.de who could be their hosting provider and may have had issues with Atrato, who is now Hibernia. Who knows it looks like normal BGP/Internet issues to me, if you are looking for some kind of conspiracy nothing is going on.

It was working for me a few hours ago, and now dead at hop 3 on FIOS again.
If they have 2 prefixes being advertised from AS51040 http://bgp.he.net/AS51040#_prefixes Why can I traceroute to 1 but not the other?

The site works 100 % fine over vpn or proxy. So I don't think this is related to any DDOS attack.

In the post you quoted it says:
"In my last post I pointed out the do not announce to peers community AS5580 was sending to Cogent, Level3 and who knows who else. So any ASN that is not a customer of Cogent or Level3 wont learn the 5580 path from them."
Verizon, ATT, and the rest of those networks are Tier-1 networks meaning if 5580 was tagging the route with do-not-advertise to their transit providers (Level3 & Cogent) the other Tier-1s wouldn't have another route to it. Looking at routing updates there were a lot of them yesterday for that prefix, for whatever reason. The lack of reachability was completely due to Atrato, had nothing to do with the ISPs in the US.
It was reachable for me yesterday on our network, but we peer directly with Atrato.
It's possible they did it to stop a DDoS, some other kind of attack, or any number of reasons.

Curious to know why the major networks stopped seeing it yesterday as well.

Hopefully the body cones thru this time. The issue isn't city or country based. In my last post I pointed out the do not announce to peers community AS5580 was sending to Cogent, Level3 and who knows who else. So any ASN that is not a customer of Cogent or Level3 wont learn the 5580 path from them.
When I checked a few hours ago, Comcast, Centurylink, AT&T, TATA, and possibly Sprint were not seeing the /24 based on their public looking glasses or route servers. Have not had time to run bgplay to see if routeviews data shows how they previously saw the /24 in past 30 days. Finding the ASN(s) they used to see from would shed light on why they stopped seeing. Checking bgplay and contacting AS51040 to reach out to their upstreams is my suggestion.
