> That link says: blocking access due to copyright issues. Respectfully, I don't think you're doing justice to the Turkish freedom of speech issue of Wikipedia being blocked by bringing up The Pirate Bay.

Can we both agree that both of these things shouldn't happen and ThePirateBay and Wikipedia shouldn't be censored by any country?

Sure, but there's a time and a place, if you know what I mean. One directly undermines access to information, whereas another has to do with copyright law.

Torrents contain information. Blocking torrent aggregators directly undermines access to information.
