This has nothing to do with Iranian Government. The ftp mentioned are for education/research organization. I grew up in a third world country, we use to have a ftp like this in my university for all kind of software for students. Most of these research/education institutes are under funded and usually the sys admin will think piracy is the best way around it.

I once worked as sysadmin in a brazilian university, and it was quite common to stumble on unmaintained and hacked boxes serving warez or movies via FTP with dir hierarchies like /path/to/ftp/root/--==tagged-by-this-group==--/--==uploaded-by-that-group==--/warez/.
