post-communist/war torn/etc countries had that problem too.
i live in poland, and while it's getting better now, it wasn't so until late 90s when the country was still deep in debts and very poor thanks to commies and nazis stealing everything they could while they were leaving.
while the country itself's finally getting better, the mindset of the generations who grew up in that environment'll be hard to change. it'll probably take at least 50 more years for my generation to die out and be completely replaced by the people from newer ones, when country wasn't dirt poor.
it'd also help if we got the same wages the rest of eu gets. we got the higher prices all right (hello $100+ games), but our wages are still around 1/3 of what most other countries make.
all the copyright and legality stuff's basically a "first world problem", people who don't live in those rich countries don't have the luxury to care about that when there's barely enough money to eat.
