Most net access over here in major cities is more than fast enough for torrents, and software programs are pretty small files (50 - a few hundred MBs).

It still surprises me that there is still *any* market for movies/music, let alone software given how easy it is to download. I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing about a "War on Piracy" soon, with all these high profile drug-like busts on both sides of the ocean. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/tech/Cal-State-Student-Faces-10-Year-Prison-Term-for-Playing-with-Video-Games-52386872.html I think you overestimate the tech-savyness of the general public, in China or the U.S. People may have computers but they may not have high-speed internet for torrenting, or even if they do its too much trouble.
