Singapore Anime Licensor Pursues Illegal Downloaders
Parents of alleged
anime downloaders asked to meet with company, face fines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odex, one of Singapore's leading distributors of Japanese animation, has
begun sending warning letters to parents of users who allegedly downloaded anime
without authorization. Odex has been asking parents to discuss their children's
behavior with its representatives, and in at least some cases, pay fines of as
much as 3,000 Singapore dollars (about US$2,000). Odex's lawyers meet with each
person who receives a letter, and decide on the scope and extent of any
penalties. Under Singapore law, "willful and significant" downloading of illegal
content is a crime punishable by a fine of up to 20,000 Singapore dollars
(US$13,000) or up to six months in prison. Some of the anime Odex has licensed
include Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, D.Gray-man, and Monster.

Hi: Your situation is empathized by the YourMom Fansubs group. They went further by advising Singapore fans to use other methods to download their anime series. Have you checked their blog yet? GiGi
PS: Yep, there were a lot of complaints about DVDs produced by Odex on their blog too just like you said CxNi
