You have to remember, they don't sell directly into such  
jurisdictions, there are multiple levels of companies involved in most  
cases.

This is done specifically to make it very expensive in time,  
resources, and money to walk the chain to the real offender.

It is relatively easy to bring a case against someone for this, but  
the problem is that this is only the beginning.

Everything is structured specifically to use the legal system as a  
shield.

Due process can bleed you dry and cost you more than you were making  
in the first place.

I suppose a lot depends on how good your own legal team is, and how  
good they are at speeding up the process and ignoring the decoys.
