In the continuing Odex saga, a Channel News Asia article has this to report:
“The court has ruled that Pacific Internet does not have to give up the names of its subscribers who had been accused of ripping content from Odex”.
WTF?!? Why? Mr Stephen Sing subscribes to PacNet is it? Chow chee bye!!!
In recent months, the local anime distributor has started a campaign to take legal action against individuals who download anime from the Internet. Smart… REALLY smart. Instead of devising methods on how to win them over, Odex chose to incur the wrath of anime fans… their ONLY potential customers.
The following was also extracted from the same article:
“Odex said that the settlements it is seeking are not for damages, but reimbursement of expenses incurred in pursuing enforcement matters.”
You fuckin’ kidding, right? These are probably words spewed after receiving death threats from fans. If you didn’t fuckin’ press charges in the first fuckin’ place, there wouldn’t be expenses incurred would there, you DUMB FUCK!
It would seem your mouth requires plumbing… coz you’re talking through your fuckin’ arse.

typical myopic chinese towkay style thinking… killing off his customer base in one fell swoop… zero strategy, zero long term gains, zero business sustainability… nice… very nice.

It really does not make any sense to anyone… they prevent people from downloading stuff that they DO NOT provide (ie. english translated anime etc). And on top of that, after the whole debacle, they still DO NOT sell the stuff that they prevented people from downloading in the first place! Fine, if you decide to catch people who download stuff you provide for, but now you have just effectively ruled out getting the business from these so-called fans.
Now you know why these fucking companies from this certain country never seem to go anywhere. Even our ‘biggest’ export is about to go bust. We should learn something from foreign-owned companies by being a little bit more ‘dai-fong’ in our thinking. Screw these ah bengs who think they know how to run a business… screw a certain Mr Sing, screw Mr Sing’s company and screw stupid brainless like-minded dipshits like that!
