Good news for Odex. BayTSP’s chief executive officer Mark Ishikawa is flying all the way to Singapore to help them with their case. And he’s of Japanese descent too! (Well, actually that’s probably unrelated.) Apparently Odex did pay them after all, so I guess it was just a case of terrible paperwork caught in the [...]
Image taken from flash movie by NCH85 Mr. Siew Kum Hong, a Nominated Member of Parliament, posted the important parts of the written judgement by District Judge Earnest Lau, along with some of his own opinions on the matter. He was formerly a lawyer at Rajah & Tann, the laws firm which is representing Odex. Pretty [...]
Update: Apparently the response was overwhelming and they have already collected enough results. The survey is over! Yay! Thanks for you help.
UPDATE 20/11/2007: Note to foreign readers. This article is about Odex’s local copyright enforcement actions that took place in Singapore in mid 2007. This is not directly related to its latest international efforts. Please refer to here for discussions on the latest development. Here is my summary of what I think of Odex’s grand scheme to [...]
Hey everyone. Remember me? Yeah I’m still alive. I shall not bore you with details about why I’ve been so inactive lately (nothing to do with Odex) and instead I bring you an extremely short post with zero actual content (aka a filler) just to let you know that I am not dead yet. But [...]
Cosfest is finally over. I am so tired from two entire days of photo-taking. It’s been 24 hours and my hands still ache from carrying a camera that weighs at least 24.43 jillion pounds. I’ve been feeling feverish the whole day because of a throat infection. In fact, I was feeling pretty shitty throughout the [...]
A group of Haruhi cosplayers performed the Lucky Star OP dance as part of their entry item for the semi-finals of the World Cosplay Summit (Singapore), which is part of Cosfest VI. Here’s a super blur and shaky video of the performance: Head to the gallery for more cosplay pictures from the event (including the SOS-dan [...]
Taken from RIUVA. So Odex has finally done it. Singapore’s anime community is doomed. Oh shit. So anyway some poor guy probably wet his pants after receiving this letter. WTF zOMG H4X! BTW the organization mentioned in the letter AVPAS (Anti-Piracy Association of Singapore) is similar to the RIAA/RIAS except that Odex appears to be the sole [...]
The Raffles Junior College Photography Club (of which I am a member) is organizing a photography competition that is opened to all students in Singapore! The theme of the Singapore Schools’ Photography Competition 2007 “Lumière” (no, not that loli) is Illuminating Social Issues in Singapore, whatever that means. The competition is opened to all full-time students [...]
Odex is just about the only company in South-East Asia that licenses anime, but unfortunately their products are pretty low quality and few people buy them. They also maintain a low profile in the Singaporean anime community with virtually zero presence in anime-related events and online communities. This picture has absolutely no relation to the topic Recently, [...]
Or “a bunch of nerds playing Counter-Strike” as tj han would put it. Apparently, I have been included in this otaku gathering that is pushing the limits of Singapore’s unlawful assembly laws but I’m sure the authorities will understand. The location is Parklane Shopping Mall just opposite Sunshine Plaza and near Dhoby Ghaut MRT. The time [...]
But they sure are cool. KKnM is having a storewide 50% sale today and tomorrow. Of course whenever there’s a sale, you don’t actually save on anything because you end up buying things that you wouldn’t have bought otherwise. But still, 50% on all character goods and figurines is just too good to pass up. I actually [...]
