I think this is a an easily believable lie. People in developing countries almost exclusively do not have a personal computer and internet connection at home or work they can use to download stuff. They have basically three options: - buy movies and console games on the street 1000x faster and cheaper than downloading and 100% reliably - pay by the hour in an internet cafe to download to their usb stick or dumb phone / mp3 player, very heavily restricted by time, price and storage capacity - offline sharing amongst friends/family TPB is just a playground for rich kids in rich countries to download everything they want in exchange for viewing a smorgasbord of advertisements and affiliate links and dodgy spyware offers.
