US at the bottom of the list

Kind of interesting but is it based on where the pirated software is hosted or coming from, or the percentage of the population involved in piracy (whether uploading/downloading)?
If the US is still at the bottom of the list of those downloading pirated software I would be more surprised. Bottom of the list of countries distributing pirated software - not so surprising.
