20.8.07;
recent things going on with odex or as everyone refer them as xedo..
apparently they have now court orders for starhub to disclose the names of anime downloaders..
after that fateful day.. all animes have been stopped..
this issue has been blown out of proportion that i have no idea where to start..
this movement by ODEX will just bring themselves more harm than good..
there is always a reason behind everything.. and the bad sales.. might be attributed to many other things.. one of them includes illegal downloading.. but the sole reason for bad sales cannot just be pinned down on people downloading anime..
the company has just made enemies out of the entire anime population of singapore.. as well some from other countries.. if this movement was to be set in motion in singapore.. who is to say it wont happen to other countries..
while my biggest argument is that instead of wasting the money suing the individuals who infringe the so called "Intellectual property rights".. they should spend it on making their service better.. while illegal downloads are still considered wrong.. without proper licensing from ODEX and providing it for the community at quality and pricing.. the revenue will still go out of the countries to imports from other countries..
im sure that ODEX has its reasons for suing kids but there will always be a limit to the community.. and whatever they have done.. but personally i feel that unless action is taken by ODEX for themselves.. they might face dire consequences by the community.. some of which is very extreme..
