Do you really think so? Or is it just no one has the will to do it.

Malaysia used to have a big problem with pirated Versions of movies on VCD. You could walk down any street in Kuala Lumpur and see stalls selling them on the roadside.

This year, I find that it is no longer possible to find pirated VCDs on the street. Why? Because the government decided to get tough on them. Not to placate Western governments and companies, but because the VCD pirates were getting too powerful and arrogant, threatening the families of police officers, burning their private cars, breaking into police compound to retrieve confiscated CDs and copying equipment. So, yes, I believe that it is a "will" problem.

On the other hand, I find that pirated DVDs and software are still commonplace.
