They wouldn’t be able to pay the creators due to sanctions anyways. Could be seen as a positive because it allows the creators to put pressure on the US to lift the sanctions on the country.
It’s also completely fine under all international law.
Following copyright law is more like a trade agreement, so if you feel wronged enough as a nation it’s completely uncontroversial to suspend all or all international copyright law and deal with the consequences (mainly the us being very salty about it).
The EU contingency for a US attack on Greenland for example is among other steps to suspend all US copyrights recognition and starve the US service industry.

Ignore patents (especially medical), licenses, royalties and such while they’re at it.
Ban all travel for any muricans (they should do it anyway 'cos measles) and invite them to leave the EU.
Ignore right to repair.
Nationalize any Big US Tech assets in the EU (datacenters, wharehouses) as well as bank accounts, use them to build EU digital infrastructure.
Discourage usage of US tech (windows,AWS, etc) / encourage use of non-US tech.
Stop using USD for any trading.
Close down all US military presence or lock them in.
Etc
I’m in the EU. I was anti-piracy in the past. It took Trump’s threats to our territory for me to stop paying any streaming services and actively engage in piracy.
Now the money goes to the seedbox hosts outside the US instead of disney or netflix. I also started using ad-blocker for youtube instead of paying.
I don’t think this is fair towards the content creators but i just can’t bring myself to give the US companies any money unless i absolutely have to. I will keep doing this until the US changes its laws/constitution to disallow someone like Trump from threatening their allies, oh and plus until they apologise and promise not to do it again.
Not only will i not give them money, i will aim to cause them economical harm.
Hopefully you realize the error of your ways and the vast damage done by the violent control of free information. The hegemonic narrative around “ownership” serves capitalism, not humanity.
What I do is try to support the creators as directly as I can when possible. This obviously doesn’t really work with Hollywood productions, but it can work decently well with music and books. I’m hoping it also has the added side-effect of hopefully having more musicians/authors make their stuff available for direct purchase.
I never said Cuba should join the US, just that corporations could collect royalties on their copyrighted material if they weren’t barred from doing business with the country.

This is the way.
There’s absolutely nothing “positive” about Cuba joining a genocidal empire just so they can broadcast commercials.
