> Iran is one of the few countries left that isn't party to a copyright treaty

Is this why many movie piracy sites are hosted on .ir domains?

I don't believe I've ever seen a .ir website in my ~25 years online.

Well, if you ever need to use some software you lost the license to after legitimately purchasing it, a lot of .ir websites have very good selections of ways around that for almost any software you can imagine.

That goes with sanctions; as a result the Iranian warez scene is actually vital to their economy.

I'd be wary of any such websites. Do you have a link or two so I know to avoid them?

I have never seen one. Bandwidth costs are ridiculously high in Iran, so most websites are hosted outside of Iran. There are Iranian piracy sites, but they block non-Iranian IP addresses to avoid being kicked off their hosting service.
