You might want to follow through this Odex saga closely now.
It seemed that ppl are gathering forces to fight this case.
And ST senior writer wrote a very nice read up regarding the entire saga.
Ppl who got no idea of what's happening maybe should k-poh and read too.
In my opinion, this whole saga is ridiculous.
I tink Singaporeans had enough of threats and money extortion.
Parents of those illegal downloaders were forced to bear responsibility and ordered to pay 3K
to 10K of compensation to ODEX. Some families really got hit by the scare tactics and
promptly paid up to avoid further implication or embroiled in law suits. But by signing that
dreadful letter, you are liable to more possible lawsuits by other distributor.
I just wanna say, Odex u have been double 6'ed yourself.

Honestly I could never find good anime titles in Singapore. (and at a reasonable price?)
I have a regular job but even so, find it expensive and the quality (still VCD???, only Chinese subtitles???) awful. I can't imagine if I am a kiddo studying in school would pay that kinda money to watch Gundam Seed for example...
Yes, its lazy effort from Odex. They didn't do anything to increase the awareness of Anime shows in Sg and now they wanna sue people for supposely denied them of earning the distribution rights.
I am angry coz Odex did nothing, its Mediacorp (showing Gundam and othe Anime shows at ArtsCentral) and Tai Sheng (Organising Gundam model competitions and displays) which made the kiddos interested in Anime in the first place in Singapore. :angry:

horhorhor.
They bought the distribution rights, not just claim it.
Why would the original anime makers get a cut Odex gets from the law suits?
Certainly, suing all the downloaders is much more profitable than making them all buy it.
really? any information about the limits of their rights? which company they bought the rights from and so on? anime is a huge market you know

paiseh, anime not so cheap...
i bought my spirited away jap R2 for 80 bucks iirc...
akira SE japan R2 box, 230 bucks or more i forgot...
most of the jap dvds are never cheap to start with... a normal jap R2 dvd will set you back at least 40.
and to whoever say a game is 69.90, paiseh again, ntsc jap ps2/ps3 sell approximately 100-130 in sg, LE, 150-300...
originals are never cheap, but its the way we show our support back to the makers... (althou i sometimes accidentally supported craps)
