There are a good amount but of course the copyright trolls would rather people ignore them because they have no leverage there (seriously I've seen . Many of these countries are enemy states to the western world and unless that changes it's unlikely copyright treaties from the west will reach those states, and vice versa.
One common example of a place like that is the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) it includes Russia and a few other countries.
Not saying they don't, everything has pros and cons and you need to decide what's really important to you and whether or not it's worth overcoming the challenges associated, many decide it isn't, and that's okay, but some decide it is and choose to pursue it.
I'm saying we don't give the copyright and corporate trolls what they want and act or talk like the enemy states out of their reach don't exist or that someone couldn't or wouldn't go there to do the dirty work, or imply that these places are going away sometime in the near future.
Of course it is, anyone should know that working in and for an enemy country is criminal. If someone didn't understand that they need to pick a side in the world they deserve what they get. Most people who are dedicated enough to go that far understand the risks well enough, and are willing to take them.
