I don't think that Tor has a problem. It works as designed. One might
say that service providers have a problem dealing with Tor, because of
the effort involved, or that complaining parties have a problem with
Tor, because they don't understand or care that a Tor exit is not the
real source of "bad traffic", or that they can block Tor based traffic
by using the already existing information provided by the Tor project
(see https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en#Bans).

Pointing fingers is not going to help, and neither is implementing
automated self-censorship on Tor exits. If somebody wants me to block
his destination IP on my Tor exit nodes, he'll have to explicitly tell
me so, and explain why he's not blocking my exit nodes instead.
