Of course no one is using paid software in countries like this. Why would they? I saw big render farms in Russia with multimillion dollar turnover that use Adobe products downloaded from torrents. I had a client who had massive rendering needs, and AfterEffects license prohibits renders for other people so i asked them how do they go about licensing, they basically didn't understand my question. After some emails exchange, it boiled down to 'maybe that is a concern for Americans, but we are a Russian company and we're in Russia, so you can be rest assured you won't have a problem if you just offload your client's workload to us'. They were most probably right, while i didn't dare to try. None of their previous clients even asked about that. And you are speaking of Venezuela.
People outside of the Western states don't buy software. They don't need to. And their culture is strongly against it (someone who buys something he could safely steal instead, is seen as a loser in Russia).
