this shows the inconsistancy in our legal system. One Judge says cannot and get another judge and the judge will tell you it's ok. So what's ok and what's not? Our legan system is a mess.
Still on war path? Go ahead, I guess no one's stopping them AND eventually they might emerge victorious at a very heavy cost to the entire market AND thanks to them, those smaller shops at Sunshine Plaza's gonna have a hell of a time. :thumbsup:
U mean those shops selling anime goods? More of anime merchandise than actual anime titles lar. AFAIK only one shop got sell/rent anime DVDs and manga and thats Anime House.Still on war path?

If integrity and morality takes a back step,
a business entity will only continue to do what's most profitable.
And with high-handed methods akin to that of the RIAA that disgusts the very market which they are supposed to capture through education & better products in the first place?And hopefully set a mark that petty crime is not acceptable and that pirating Japanese animation is not a human right.
Maybe thats where it gets its main profits from. (apart from suing pple for $$$).as long as odex can sell its stuff to tv stations it won't be folding anytime soon.

2 :thumbsup::thumbsup: I'd say. :bsmilie:
P/S: If there's something truly unique, I'd say that in this case, 'pirated' stuff have way better quality than the real mccoy. Isn't it something very questionable when it shld actually be the other way round? :bsmilie:
I hope you'll advocate the same next time when someone complains about his/her photos being used without consent.
No. If I took a book, corrected the typesetting errors, and republished it, it would still be piracy. It's not a difficult concept at all. If something doesn't belong to you, leave it alone.
The company doesn't owe it to you to "capture the market" or offer "better products". If you're not happy with the products, don't buy them. But don't steal them either.

Oversimplifying an entire issue.

BUT why is everyone so worked up about this?
Odex can do pretty much what they think it is right. I don't really kow what is right as legal stuff is pretty complicated.
Seriously, why all the hate against Odex? Personally, I don't really care either way, cuz I don't work in Odex, and I don't download anime.... The courts will decide what is right and Odex is perfectly entitled to getting what they want through the legal channels.
Common, they are not spray painting people's houses, or putting pigs head, etc. Why all the hate?
