The Business: Using The Enemies' Tool Against Them (Example)

It is clear that I need to spell out the alternative in some detail. First, review the video explaing how the international structure works.

Second, a reminder of realities:

• Wankers By The Beach does NOT have worldwide reach.
• You are not obligated to do what your enemies tell you.
• Foreign jurisdictions have their own rules.
• The entire point of a globally-distrbuted structure is to exploit these differences as a form of arbitrage to wield legal fuckery to best advantage.
• Wankers can't touch you when you are behind a massive legal meatshield coming and going.
• The fact that there are other business great and small that do this, do this daily, and do this entirely within the law proves that it is real and works.

This is how it would work.

• Bob is in Wisconsin. Bob hates Wankers. Bob gets himself a passport, some vital documents (which would have been gathered in order to get his passport anyway), and gets moving.
• Without leaving his house, Bob forms a Trust in South Dakota. He makes himself Grantor and Beneficiary and, as a place holder, appoints a trusted friend as Trustee.
• Bob gets on a plane and goes to Dubai. There he forms a pair of Freezone corporations. One is the Holding Company, owned by the Trust. The other is a Trust Administration Firm, owned by Bob in his own name. Bob, as Grantor, now appoints the TAF as Trustee for the trust. He opens bank accounts for both companies, and since he now qualifies for one, he gets a Temporary Residency Permit that grants unlimited reentry to the UAE lasting three years and indefinitely renewable. Bob then goes home.
• Bob now remotely forms a Publisher in a jurisdiction with strict privacy laws and doesn't give two shits about some jumped-up toy company in Seattle, which is owned by the Holding Company based in Dubai.
• Bob now remotely forms a Distributor in another jurisdiction with such laws and attitudes, but also good banking infrastructure. The Distributor is also owned by the Holding Company.
• Bob remotely forms a Delaware-based corporation to collect payments in the US for sales and pass them through to the Distributor, who then pays the Publisher. This is repeated in other jurisdictions as required. All of these are owned by the Distributor.
• Bob remotely erects a storefront on the Distributor's site, removing the threat of deplatforming from the equation. The storefront accepts several forms of processing, making those forms of deplatforming irrelevant.
• Bob remotely erects a crowdfunding function on the Publisher's site, removing the threat of deplatforming from the equation. Several forms of processing accepted.
• Bob hired no employees. He contracts with a handful of specialists to do the few things he cannot.
• Bob, as the Publisher, only sells ebooks but he bundles POD-ready versions in his sales and includes an explicit permission for the buyer to use POD services for personal use only in the form of a Buyer Recepit and makes this policy clear to services such as Lulu. Bob does not need to maintain inventory.
• Bob does not host any of his sites in the West, and does not rely on Western outlets for his core functions. No worry of dudes in a Slack channel coordinating hits.

"Expensive!"

Most of this is going to be filing fees, some travel/lodging for what you need to do in person, and otherwise managable. If you're still gunshy, wait for someone else to do this and then sign on with them.

"But DCMA!"

Hasn't stopped Kiwifarms, and that site is actively assaulted by far more vicious actors than Wankers or Hasbro on the regular. This is nothing by comparison, and by using this international structure such a US-based law becomes irrelevant. This is easier than you think to make irrelevant; folks outside China ignore the CCP crying about this sort of shit on the regular.

"But treaties!"

Don't matter unless they're enforced, and this form of arbitrage is exactly about making such things impossible.

"How do you get paid?"

Jack buys Against The Wicked Wizards from Bob's publisher. He pays $20 in U.S. Dollars. Bob has no employees. All of that money flows through the pass-through companies (if necessary) to the Publisher, who then (due to arrangements between the corporations) pass that money back up the structure to the Holding Company (which owns all that the companies use) and then to the Trust. Bob takes token salaries from each corporation, a real salary from the TAF, and a dispersal from the Trust as a Beneficary.

As Bob choses jurisdictions with either no corporate income tax or a corporate tax regime that is defacto zero tax if certain conditions are met, and all of that corporate income terminates in Dubai (zero tax for Freezones still). If he structures his personal income properly, he can reduce his income tax to zero and still enjoy all the benefits of his operations. (The holding company or the trust would own the house, the car, etc.)

Bob is fine, especially if he publishes under a psuedonym (which you should). Wankers can't touch him specifically due to all this meat surrounding him and his money. Wankers can't stop his operations because his structure takes advantage of the fact that the norms Wankers relies upon do not exist worldwide. If he wanted to go the extra mile, he'd move to yet another country with zero personal income tax (pure tax haven or Territorial only, and his is all offshore). I hear that St. Kitts & Nevis is nice.

One man can do this.

Then, once you've done this, you can apply it to every other enemy like Wankers By The Beach such as Stupid British Toy Company (Bob sells STL files for 3D printing of figures suitable for SpaceMace 39K) and other predatory parties out there.

And once Bob shows that it's doable, Bob can offer its benefits to others.

You folks sorely underestimate how this all actually works, and how available it is now to parties that are not large corporations or global elites.

I follow folks online that do exactly this, but for consulting businesses. It's not hard to do this as a publishing operation now.
