Well-developed country = a lot more people on the internet = a lot more people using software = a lot more people looking for cracks. Give it some thought. Raw numbers mean nothing.

Also interesting fact is, that almost everytime I reloaded the main stats with last 10 visitors, there was at least 1 University between them. I thought, that state-owned institutions won't steal software.
Huh? It's the students that go to the schools, not the schools themselves.

A) Surfing to Astalavista does not make you guilty of piracy. I clicked the link in your message and I didn't download any cracks. Even downloading a crack doesn't mean you actually stole any software. It's circumstantial and won't get you convicted of anything.

B) Why not use a public counter? They are a search engine, that's all. Why should they be hiding their stats?
