It's not a problem in any of those countries or any where else. The amont of money "lost" due to piracy is statistically insignificant. Not one company would be significantly better off if piracy didn't exist. Some might get more money, others would have less (say, cause their hardware didn't sell or the IP didn't gain a following), but overall it'd mean almost no difference to the industry unless those pirated copies could be replaced with legitimate copies. The only way that happens is if they drop the price of games significantly, say to $10 for a new release. Something where anyone in the world can afford the price.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
