Hey hey.. that already happens.. for years the RIAA have been collecting my royalties, but won't pay them out to me unless I join. They have even been forcibly collecting royalties on live recordings of my songs I released free under the creative commons license.

This just shows how scared brazil is about piracy.

Considering that most of the people that live in brazil will just go home and download it on the internet so really you are not stoping jack
