  Surprisingly, I think that less developed countries are doing better than the top X developed countries. For example, I'm from the former Yugoslav region. Other than the occasional filtering by the mobile providers to give people free access to Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram/whatever, the governments simply don't care about reducing Internet freedoms, and, even if they do, they don't have the capacity (or knowledge) to do so. Out Internet connections might not be the best (I'm paying about 20e for 80/20 Mbps), but being able to run a Tor exit node for years (before switching to running a hidden bridge) without being worried about having cops at your doors is something nice to have. You can't even get into trouble by pirating because it's a small market, and major studios don't have offices in those less developed countries. The only registered way you could possibly get in trouble by pirating is by using pirated Windows licenses in your business, since Microsoft is the only tech company that actually has offices in this region and enforces copyright in local courts.

    On a forum where there are a lot of software​ developers, the fact that their work can freely be stolen "because it's a small market" may not be as much of a selling point as you'd think.
