Strange indeed.. but they forgot to ban it on IPv6 - maybe they're trying to push IPv6 adoption!
ha, you are hilarious.
Banning any Cloudflare hosted sites by IP is particularly ineffective because it doesn't really matter which cloudflare IP you connect to as long as you present the right SNI name and HTTP Host header.. basically just add www.thepiratebay.org to your hosts file and point it at any other cloudflare IP.. like they banned 104.31.18.30 so change it to 104.31.18.31 and ban evaded.
isn't any 'copyright driven' censorship move really just a half-a$$ed move anyway? it's all about knocking out 90% of the users? ALL of these restrictions can be avoided if you can encap around, or fix-your-local-resolver, or ... which 90% of the people just won't do...
