We don't need to look too far. IA could simply extend their middle-finger and move to Mexico, Spain, Thailand, or Sealand.

Publishers represent themselves and their own greed, not the authors and artists that created the content. There are rare success stories[1], but how many other works have been looted by publishers at the expense of the long dead content creator's family?
