I hear that a lot.

"You need pay the police or mafia" - Truth is most don't pay either. They pay after they get caught. Why do you think most shooters go to extraordinary lengths to hide their faces.

It's only 1 content producer that shows his face and he's probably connected.

There are some common sense steps you can take to mitigate risk:

- block your site in Thailand
- send DMCAs to Thai sites if they host your content
- shoot in blocks and delay uploads

Personally, and I've said this before, I'd wait to see what happens with this ASEAN thing. Hopefully you can just shoot Cambodians/Lao/Burmese girls in Thailand and save so much of the trouble.
