THE ODEX FIASCO

It has become big. What are the foreigners going to think of us? I don't understand why ODEX have to carry out such unnecessary actions. As everyone knows, they have become a public enemy and are seriously boycotted by the whole anime community in Singapore.

Latest news: Black Ribbons project started by the Odex Revolution. (See first link AND READ THE WARNING BELOW)

Messages they want to bring across:

Promoting personal privacy

Resisting threats from organizations without any written legal proof

Resisting against abuse of power and threats of legal action taken without evidence

Against intrusion of personal privacy for commercial benefits and/or gains

For better lawful / commercial / action taken towards minors aged 16 and below

Against Odex's actions taken towards the general knowing and/or unknowing public

--- Links ---

As the name tells. A blog set up by Odex Revolution.

Are we going to see half of the population with black ribbons this coming week?

*Please note that I provide the link solely for news bites. It is still not known if their actions would be accepted legally so please consider carefully.*

New website set up to help fight corporate tyranny and the broken IP system. I'm not sure of their movements so please take note too.

Journalist Andy Ho is reasoning out why anime fans might not be wrong downloading after all. Cheers.
