    Don't take this RJC animeblogger lightly. I thought he was planning to avoid the whole ODEX thing but looks like he's just gearing up for the big post:

    Neither can Odex prevent any criminal charges.
    Even if you pay Odex their $3,000 or so, there is nothing to stop the government from pressing criminal charges against you. Copyright infringement is a criminal offence in Singapore. Odex can do nothing to interfere with that. In fact, even if they promise not to sue you themselves, there is nothing that legally prevents them from reporting you to the relevant authorities. In fact, it would be illegal for them to make such a promise.
    This is quite true in the sense that, whether or not Odex catches you, its still up to the courts to decide. And if you are caught, you dont have to pay Odex for settlement, because u have to pay the fine anyway for copyright infringement. Theres not much to say though, even if Odex does catch you, it does not mean the law is onto you, so even then, you are pretty safe unless proven otherwise.

    All i can say is, if u got the love letter from Odex, tear it up, burn it and continue your merry life until the dust settles, they can hardly touch you at the moment where they have no evidence.

    Seems like ODEX is targeting kids and their parents who have no internet knowledge. This is despicable but is actually a very smart thing to do.

    I don't wanna be disrespectful to our elders, but those who don't lurk around the internet are at a disadvantage in this age. Our elders who misunderstand the internet hate it when their children stick to the computer too long and invent terms like "internet addicts".

    There is no such nonsense... in this age the internet a very important source of information and knowledge. The internet isn't new technology like last time, it is a revolutionary invention. Last time you will have grandfathers saying "What's this, a telephone? You are all idiots! Writing letters are the way to go!" but the internet is a hundred times more amazing than a telephone. And u can't simply ignore it.

    Well too bad to these parents who are stuck in their "old age" mentality... I think alot of them have payed up already...

    As u know, if they feel they have sufficient evidence, they can try filing a suit against you, but it won't guarantee they will win, THAT IS WHY they sent you the letter in the first place, because they are not confident of winning inside court, and they are trying to scare u with a threat so they dont have to shame themselves in front of the law.

    If you paid Odex without taking them up on their suit, you're a sucker for giving in without resistance to a fight that you could have possibly won.

    can't agree better. Somemore nowadays our offline source of information is so much more of a MISINFORMATION.

    So our unconnected elders who have their source of misinformation tend to misjudge the self-informed.

    Why does the states straits times help odex in misinforming the public?

    The Straits Times didn't. The New Paper did.

    You know that article on "Anime Downloading : An Alternate Perspective"? It made a lot of sense compared the all the articles TNP did by far. In TNP, they didn't even explain what the drop of titles available in DVD to be sold in America meant, resulting in a lot of misinformation.
