I understand it's a systemic problem across the sub-continent and to an extent the middle-east as well. But I'm sorry, I simply don't believe someone who is old enough to own a computer thinks that downloading something, for free, isn't 'cheating' the system somehow. I've seen the horrible art-work on the plastic-bagged "pirated" versions of games in these kinda shops, there's absolutely no way someone of any intelligence looking at those games doesn't think to themselves "hmmm, is this legit?". I mean, often times you're buying it from a dude down a side-alley who looks unable to dress himself properly. So, while I agree with you that it's an attitudinal issue in these countries and people genuinely don't give a shit, I somehow doubt the people who do pirate this stuff, are oblivious to the fact it's entirely illegal.
Actually, as stated above, most dont have high speed internet connections, so most people buy pirated Dvds instead... I agree, once u start downloading games, u have to know they're not legit, with all the phrases like "Cracked" and "No Steam"... People mostly download light apps or softwares, all/most of which have free versions so that also creates a sense that everythings free... Also there is another phenomena that i like to call "Internet illiteracy", which means that u just use the internet
ONLY for common things like Fb, music, movies... Most people here don't have the curiosity to venture further into the vast reaches of the web...
DVD covers are good here, pretty realistic
