There are those countries who do not like working in international cooperation and who turn a blinf eye to a lot of things, or maybe they just like censoring their internet more than actually stopping piracy. There are also hosts which may shut down your website for hosting .rar files, happened to some Strike Fighters modder.
Of course I agree with you but it can be hard to get that inside the brains of politicians and those who think stealing is an expression of freedom.
