Odex Seeking Compensation From Anime Downloaders
-
They provide sucky sub and demand for compensation? The consumer should be the one asking them for compensation and the copyright owners should ask odex for compensation for turning the consumer to fansub...

But censorship has nothing to do with grammar. MDA not so dumb to be involved and pay money to sue. So will taichi to them.Originally posted by dumbdumb!:i know, but you're saying odex is indirectly saying that the MDA, in the bid to improve the standard of english, pushed them to release subs which are grammatically wrong? it don't make sense.

stephen sing is only a hired lapdogOriginally posted by dumbdumb!:i only have issues with stephen sing, until he's jobless on the street, i won't be satisfied.
you need to curse both him and his master, peter go.
and someone really needs to dig up more details on the GamesMart case. I'm interested to know how both of them escaped jailtime. they were SELLING pirated goods for profit, much worse than downloaders. -
heard the new ones = dvd qualityOriginally posted by stellazio:vcd quality good? -
What's the use of new ones = dvd quality, when majority of the old ones that contain more series have bad qualities?

Please don't degrade hell either. Later Hades dulans you. Don't know where to quite place him.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Change it to hell then. -

Hope odex has the same fate as GamesMart. Better still, close down forever. Just a big bully, bully kids downloading anime. Games mart close down, they really deserve it. Retribution.

Odex stands firm on pursuing illegal downloaders of anime
Rmbed like a few weeks ago i said odex's actions are supported and somehow initiated by tv tokyo and various jap companies?
By Jermyn Chow
ANIME distributor Odex is standing firm on its stance to pursue illegal downloaders.
Clarifying its position in a media conference on Thursday, the company even brought in the muscle of anime copyright holders from Japan to back its case.
Odex said it had to take legal action because of the large numbers of illegal downloaders of the Japanese anime titles it brought in.
The company revealed that over 483,000 illegal downloads had been made here over the past 10 months alone - making Singapore 10th on the list of countries worldwide with the most illegal anime downloaders.
Compounding the problem - 59 per cent of households here have high-speed broadband access.
So Singapore has the highest percentage of anime downloads per capita, far ahead of countries like the United States, Australia and Hong Kong.
Odex's aim, said its managing director Peter Go, is to bring down the number of illegal downloads to about 85 per cent.
Odex authorised to act on behalf of copyright holders
To further bolster its case, Odex brought in representatives of four Japanese studios, which own the copyrights of blockbuster series like Naruto, Dragonball, Tsubasa Chronicles, and Romeo and Juliet.
The representatives told reporters through an interpreter, that they support Odex's legal action.
All four studios had in fact issued authorisation letters for Odex to act on their behalf, before the company went to the courts.
Said Mr Yukio Kawasaki, manager of TV Tokyo Corpration: 'If there is a necessity from the courts of Singapore requiring us to come down (physically), then we will come.'
The studios appealed to anime fans to stick to original copies.
Appealing court orders
Odex is currently in the midst of appealing to get a court order which will force Pacific Internet to supply the names of illegal downloaders using its service. A judge had turned down its request last Thursday (Aug 23).
To date, Odex has sent out 300 letters, from the 1,000 Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that SingTel had provided. An IP address is a string of numbers that can identify a user, although web addresses are commonly shared here.
StarHub has also been served with a court order to provide Odex with another 100 ISP addresses.
The Odex fracas has led to fervent online chatter with some anime fans vilifying Odex and others voicing outrage over the court orders forcing Internet Service Providers to reveal the names of their subscribers.
And everyone was like "YA RIGHT BULLSHIET!" -
Ah, the sociopath is here.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Rmbed like a few weeks ago i said odex's actions are supported and somehow initiated by tv tokyo and various jap companies?

Its very simple. If Odex was the exclusive licensee, the court would have made PacNet give out the names. Simple as that.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:Rmbed like a few weeks ago i said odex's actions are supported and somehow initiated by tv tokyo and various jap companies?
And everyone was like "YA RIGHT BULLSHIET!"
But an Authorisation letter doesnt work here I think. Odex has to have the documentation to show they are the exclusive licensee for them to take action on behalf of the copyright holders.
And yes, Bullshiet. I still think it was Odex initiated, and they sought the jap copyright holders to back them. -
