Dude, no one has ever needed an Internet connection to buy pirated goods. For a long time, a this may still be the case, it was possible to just walk up to a guy standing on the street in China and buy pirated goods off of them for pennies on the dollar. The CD you've wanted for so long that's $100 in the stores? 25 cents from the guy on the corner. Bam, deal done. It probably still works that way, too, in a lot of countries. Any place with a strong organized crime network and rampant poverty (read: most of Asia) is going to be like that.
Seriously, people need to realize that not everyone in the world lives the same way. There are different practices and customs, and in some countries it is not illegal at all to stand on the corner selling pirated goods. Once upon a time, not that long ago, it wasn't illegal to sell copies anywhere. It's only been in relatively recent years that this idea that you can't make a copy and sell it came into being to begin with, and not everybody agrees that it is a change for the better.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
