Odex Seeking Compensation From Anime Downloaders
-
Maybe odex think anime lovers are kids, just give us some crappy stuff and we are happy enough.Originally posted by Shotgun:Precisely. Its this kinda companies like Odex, that come up with crappy products, and wants to sue people "for the greater good" of the industry that disgusts me.
If they were really concerned about the "greater good" they would have put in effort in their VCD/DVD quality assurance, and hasten releases in the first place. They come up with half baked products and want to tell people they are acting for the greater good. Do they honestly think Singaporeans are stupid? -
I find it funny man,
People use to say when DL movies and music, u will get bad quality such as the sound or the image of the movie is bad. Or u may see ppl moving around, talking in the moves when u dl movie. And the music will not be as great as the original. So they encourage ppl to buy original. This is quite true, as some priated dvd have had quality
However, in anime when u support original, u received crappy quality and sub. How can odex want us to support original when they give us this kind of crap.
Isn't Odex encouraging anime lover to download? Since we paid to receive crap products.
Odex top management are stupid people. -
yea rmb that...sang by harlem yu.Originally posted by CoolMyth:Some "chinese" anime theme songs are good as well.
Remember the "Yu Chou Xiao Mao Qiu" song?
btw some animes which have good market it TW and HK still have the chinese dub done. looking at ch56 playing one piece till 1 1/2 seasons back from the jap's... although its slow but the quality is good. -

The summary is so badly-written, I can't decipher it. I don't think 'enmired' is an actual word."

I wonder how many people are still buying anime from odex?
If there are Singaporeans, after this stupid episode, still buying from this company, I think we are a very sad country with a stupid lot who don't understand what is called cooperation. -

Odex to get ISPs to issue online warnings
A DISTRIBUTOR of Japanese animated movies, or anime, has adopted a new tactic in its battle to stop illegal downloads here.
The firm, Odex, will ask Internet service providers (ISPs) to forward warnings to subscribers it suspects of this activity, asking them to 'cease and desist'.
Many in the online anime community here say Odex should have done this in the first place instead of a legal crackdown that sparked off an online hate campaign.
Since May, the firm has tried to get details of alleged infringers from ISPs here in order to send them letters demanding settlement sums of $3,000 to $5,000.
Spokesmen for the three ISPs said they have not yet been formally contacted by Odex and declined to disclose what they will do until they have more details.
Odex director Stephen Sing said the firm will not ask ISPs to disclose the identities of subscribers, but to forward an electronic notice from Odex to the alleged infringer.
The notice will list the alleged infringements. Subscribers can click on the link on the notice; they will be asked to acknowledge receipt of the notice and promise not to download any more pirated anime.
If they deny they have done this, they will have a chance to explain their position with the same link.
Mr Sing said if the subscriber does not respond, the firm will consider a court order to get his ISP to release his details.
The firm has changed tactics hoping the individual with the Internet subscription - often a parent whose child is downloading anime at home - will rein in such activities if they find out about them.

and i see no difference from the previous methods except that they are sending the letter via the ISP and electronically. -
good point raised.. the fact that their previous method sparked such an online outrage, the change in tactic may only be a way to cover their ass and falsely pretend that they are really acting out of goodwill to reduce illegal downloaders.Originally posted by hisoka:this actually means they are still insistent on getting the identities of the suspected downloaders. only now they trying to trick them into giving up their identities themselves by having them click on links and defending or agreeing.

The point is, are there still stupid singaporeans who don't care and still buy their items?Originally posted by brokenluv:good point raised.. the fact that their previous method sparked such an online outrage, the change in tactic may only be a way to cover their ass and falsely pretend that they are really acting out of goodwill to reduce illegal downloaders.
Reputation screwed, but its useless if singaporeans still continue to support an idiot company like this. -
i for one, will never support odex
-
My belief is yes. This crackdown could have scared some into buying legal goods. And this group, I believe, doesn't know that there are other anime distributors as well.Originally posted by soul_rage:The point is, are there still stupid singaporeans who don't care and still buy their items?

"Almost all the parents we spoke to said they would have stopped their children from downloading if they had known about it," said Mr Sing.
He said downloaders are more combative and believe they should be allowed to continue downloading copyrighted content.
A survey by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore this year showed only one in five people here is "bothered" by copyright infringement.
Odex sent a warning list to the National University of Singapore (NUS) earlier this year.
Professor Alan Chan, associate provost for undergraduate education, said NUS has formally warned a number of students.
"As an educational institution, we must protect and honour the integrity of intellectual property," said Prof Chan.
