In the 2010's report of IIPA (International Intellectual Property
Aliance) mentions Brazil in your black list.

This report proposes actions against various policies of the Brazilian
government and enforcement of various IPR policies in brazil.
This report Includes :

• Avoid legislation on the mandatory use of open source software by
government agencies and government controlled
  companies.

• Have the State of São Paulo University (USP) reverse its harmful
administrative rule which allows widespread
  reprographic copying of portions of books by commercial, for-profit
copy centers, and institute guidance for other
  universities that have followed in USP’s footsteps.

• Under the leadership of the CNCP(National Council Against Piracy),
set up a new roundtable negotiations between right holders and the ISP
 industry  aiming to achieve a cross industry agreement to combat
Internet piracy in Brazil. Improve actions against Internet
  piracy. This includes conducting ex officio actions on facilities
that knowingly offer public access to unauthorized
  peer-to-peer programs, particularly those locations that facilitate
or enable unauthorized transactions by providing the
  materials required for copying downloads.

• Amend the Penal Code to increase the penalties applicable to
infringement of copyright in software programs so that
  criminal cases involving software infringement are not eligible to
be suspended by judges.
