I think it's an even bigger stretch than that because he's not even alluding to trademark infringement - he's referring to low-quality goods. Now, I think piracy is wrong, but comparing a bootleg movie to a fake life-saving device just makes you look ignorant.

No, it makes you look like you want to protect the American interests oversea while also thinking about the children.

Not really. Pirated software can be "low quality". They could contain viruses, which also could look bad for the company that made the software.
