yup :thumbsup: and pacnet also, more users switching over ?? :bsmilie:
if people cannot download anime (not that im encouraging because i buy my favourite animes :lovegrin: ), then why did they even take up fast internet downloading service providers like starhub's cable service or singnet's broadband ?
i find this whole Odex saga is just so stupid. lets see how people retaliate now.

I think no one has any doubt that downloading of those anime is illegal. However, what Odex should have done is to fire a warning salvo to those downloaders before threatening to sue them. Many of these downloaders are young and underage, and may not have known the grave consequence of their act. They should have taken this opportunity to educate the offenders, and not just slapping them with a penalty.
This kind of tactics is just what makes it hard for the general public to swallow. It is liken to seeing strong adults beating up these seemingly defenseless youngsters, it is disgusting. This is bullying at its worst.
Why should they make the parents pay for something their children committed? Simply because the parents are the children's guardian? If this is so, then the children shouldn't be harshly penalised simply they are still young and may not know what they are doing, and hence they need guardians and guidance right? Thus, the 'punishment' that Odex bestowed upon these youngsters, in my opinion, is definitely too harsh and ill conceived.
Having the director of the company to proclaim in public forums that he is out to get them and gloat about it, truly speaks for the kind of ugly stuff this bloke is made up of. He needs to grow up himself first.
If my child is involved, I'll definitely fight tooth and nail with these bullies.

i wonder how his kids are in school and if the other kids bully them after they find out their dad did such a thing...
His neighbours will be looking at him with a strange look.
BTW, someone was kind enuff to record the Live 938 Talkback on the Odex Fiasco.

Probably read too much anime himself, so hasn't grown out of his own juvenile behaviour yet.
i wanna be your child xD
wow, where did you dig up this hot gossip from? :bigeyes:
Well, Singnet and Starhub were served court orders, so it is up to the ISPs to sue Odex, but of course all this pending on an appeal by Odex against the Pacnet ruling.
Which Odex almost certainly will.
I think the aggrieved parties will require you as their leader... :bsmilie:
nah just a concerned citizen. Now that the games mart name has come up i remember them even more distinctly since they cheated me once when i bought from them back then.
why mention me? i only come see show only :bsmilie:
btw thanks for the link, great suppertime infotainment ... yum yum
i think it's an excellent twist here that twisted the entire saga upside down, from start already mentioned that Odex does not seem like the right organisation to carry out such raids ;p
you should ask your anime contacts if they even know of them at all or what they think of the fiasco, esp with the Gamesmart and i have a dream revelation.
people on summer holidays here lah, who will bother now :bsmilie: watch first then say :devil:
I'm just waiting for the appeal to go Pacnet's way.
Then it gives us an excuse to post "xedo double-6-ed! (o.o)y" :bsmilie:
don't copy xys style la come up with a better insult :bsmilie:
