No, the difference is that dns.be, a Belgian company, stores the SOA records needed to resolve domains in the .be TLD. That is not true for any thepiratebay.org or any of the other domains you mentioned. Since it relies on a Belgian company, it's vulnerable to a BAPF legal takedown affecting DNS resolution worldwide, where the others like thepiratebay.org are not.
