Singapore’s crackdown on anime p2pers
Odex, the main distributor of anime in Singapore, has forced Starhub (a Singapore ISP) to give up names of people involved sharing anime titles which are licensed by them - even a 9-year-old was not exempt (a copy of the letter here). DarkMirage has some solid criticism of the issue.
Even blog posts regarding the issue are being frowned upon.
Someone pointed out on Lowyat though that since Malaysia doesn’t have official anime distributors, we’re unlikely to suffer the same fate - at least for now.
