I know what you are saying, but I didn't get the feeling he was
blaming all Russians, or all Chinese, or all Iranians, as hackers. I
did get the feeling that he was saying hacking is very prevalent in
those countries. I know that is definitely true in Russia and China.
Not everyone is a hacker, but they certainly have a very high number
of them. China is also a major (and I mean major) source of
counterfeited software. So, he's accurate on that point.

I've never studied Iran and the software situation there.
