There are a lot of hackers in the former Soviet bloc too. I think it comes down to a few things: a) relatively high technical skill. Can't hack without this b) relatively low income. Honest work is more profitable in first-world countries. c) Low respect for international law ((())). Risk vs reward; doing this in the US is risky. A court will come fuck you like this. China DNGAF
Was someone doing this inside the US? Much smarter to do that somewhere they do not care.
I actually almost look down on any country that enforces US copyright when their people are poor. Of course if you want any sort of domestic industry you have to do reciprocity. So it is not overly simple
