The distributors along with the RIAA (and etc.) get the money. They end up getting up to 99% percent of the winnings in some cases. The only reason the artists you hear about are the ones with millions, is, well, because you hear about them: 1% might be a million.

Do you think I have anything to worry about? I was only twelve yrs. old and hadn’t figured out how to shoplift LP’s yet. I recorded over the song, so maybe I’m safe, but the fat kid next door listened to it with me first. Damn, what if he narcs me out? Maybe I can sneak across the border to Mexico and elude ICE. Mexico?, maybe not. They’ll think I know the Demonoid dude. I’m so scared. I promiss, I’ll never record a shitty song off the AM radio with a cheesy ass reel to reel and let a fat kid know about it. I’ll stick to robbing banks and holding up liquor stores instead of pirating music. You get in a hell of a lot less trouble doing that.

(Just being ironic here. I don’t rob banks or hold up liquor stores. It does seem sometimes like the penalties for sharing music are a hell of a lot higher than for white collar crime or violent crimes.)

Also counter sue on the basis of Fraud & extortion as NONE of those damages will go to ANY of the Musicians

I steal all of their musics since before Internet existed, when cassettes (magnetic tape) are common media of songs I used a tape recorder to copy, until Internet’s torrent and megaupload era. I steal thousands of songs maybe for more than 30 years, until now.

Singapore is friend of USA and Japan, and it’s not good. First go to a South America country, from there you prepare the next destination to Asia.
Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia are among good choices, they are buddhist and very friendly people. You can live as an English teacher in a village’s school.
If you want safer but sacrificing some privacies, go to a moslem country like Indonesia or Sub Sahara countries like Tunis, Morocco. Most of them are moderate moslems, but you need to blend and behave, pretending to change religion to Islam will be the best as you’ll be their hero and get maximum protection.
This suggestion is based on experiences, not a theory.

The best way is to call for boycotts. Get a few musicians and actors on board and you’ll have plenty of publicity for the boycotts as well.
