Any nation with draconian laws like that would very quickly see its entertainment industry relocate to other, more free countries.

This has occured to me. Although, I think the word "draconian" is too strong. Besides, it would be impractical for a lot of people and companies to move. I doubt writers or musicians would, although perhaps the TV and film companies would.

It won't happen overnight, but eventually the major players will set up in Canada and Europe, or any other country they deem suitable for continuing their business with continued freedoms. Even smaller authors, such as writers and musicians, may choose to publish their works in, say Australia, wherefrom it's then exported to the US.

Maybe, maybe not. Although you used a bad example. Australia is quite conservative with what it allows to be published, broadcast, etc. I think. I know it's meant to be a Western style country (despite clearly being geographically a long way from the West, before some troll in this topic points that out), but it's quite right wing in some ways. Oh, and also, Canada can be conservative about some things, compared to America.
