Good questions. I've looked for information but I haven't found any solid data on the scale of pirating in places like China today. It's obviously huge - folks I know from China at my university, mostly students who know the game culture pretty well, say modchipping and pirating are widespread. That said, it seems to be limited to university students and the upper middle class who can afford computers - maybe 50 million people or so. But we don't really have good numbers on this, just educated guesses.
