Very good Point. But you have to look at it from a Producer and an Anti Piracy company's point of view.
For us it is not really important which country is the hub of piracy based on the population ratio. But it is important to find out which country has the most super seeders and leechers so we can take them down effectively, that is by taking their legal system and infrastructure into account. An other important issues is how much real damage the leecher is doing, the polish leecher is less likely to pay for content whereas, there is higher chance that the US based leecher would have paid for the content had it not been available via the internet.
But having said that I think you are making a very valid point and I have already asked one of the technical guys to add such graphs to the page.
