17 people

402

Curious but the 17 includes those using NUS's network???

JungleJim

Probably only Singnet user from the PDF letter that most ppl saw from one of the anime blogs

A lot of NUS users d/ling anime?

402

I heard a few was rounded up. They were fined in accordance to School's Rules and Regulation.

Yet so far I had not heard of what they discussed and what's the punishment for the reported 17. How can that be? Are they phantoms?

JungleJim

oh, so only NUS? what about other schools and tertiary institution?

402

Bcos it happens that someone from NUS told me. Word of mouth is better than none.

Another curiousity is regarding to the Naruto incident in the past. It really happen?

JungleJim

Naruto incident? I checked that AVPAS site, didn't see Naruto and my friend told me not listed = can still d/l LOL

Wonder true or not.

402

There's something like people who d/l Naruto being caution/or summon to meeting years ago.

Not the list doesn't equates to trouble free. Afterall, you are still infringing copyright. You are still flirting with the law.

one thing I don't quite understand with the dl-ers in Singapore, especially with the recent legal letters and out-of-court settlements with Odex, is why do they still continue to do it?

from the posts so far, two things are clear:

1) Odex and the associated agencies HAVE a way to track down exactly who is downloading (ISP doesn't matter, all local ones should have a means to tracking their user activities)

2) they are actively engaging and pursuing those whom they have identified as infringing copyright by downloading...

Now, with these two things clear, I'm guessing that those people who continue to do so are:

1) extremely rich, that they have S$ 3-4k to throw around and throw at people. In which case, they should be buying all the anime they want from Japan/US or even learning the language and moving to Japan! ^^ no need to wait so long for downloads ...

2) masochistic. They know what they are doing is wrong, but derive pleasure from being punished/fined ... again and again. perhaps it's the thrill of the chase?

3) clearly stupid. and just waiting to get caught. in which case, they deserve to pay every cent of the S$3-4k that's coming to them.

This is not targeting at anyone in general. I'm just sharing my own train of thought, to understand why there are still downloaders in this climate.

teddymon

erm.... got any links for those who are "awarded"?
