DNS blocking is a thing in some EU countries too, but maybe not at the same scale.

Yes, in the Netherlands all major ISPs block most Pirate Bay proxies. Hooray for TOR.

You don't need TOR to get around DNS blocks (assuming that's how your ISP is blocking TPB). I configure my router to use Google's public DNS server 8.8.8.8 and that completely circumvents the "block".
