odex war

Not that i am here to flame anyone or anything. But i must admit i am also in the line of fire. I personally find odex very amusing in that the fact that they do not care for their customer base at all and chase down illegal downloaders. many factors have lead to todays tragic scenario and given that the uproar of comments is fast and furious soon odex would have to bury it's head under mud and cover it self up if they want to continue to sell anime related products in singapore. They have cause alot of anguish among us netizens and their plan have obviously backfired.

Things that have kept resurfacing in my mind is that why odex has choose this way to approach its customer base, as even a layman would know that, the customer is always right. Can this be attributed to singapore's failing service standards? This is service isnt it? I have reasons to believe that odex is just following a mindset where what ever they put out on the market the consumers would like and have to buy. Well since they are the sole anime distributor in singapore they can do whatever they want.

The U.S approach, they way the anime distributors in the united states do things is that they go after the anime-subbers and warn them so that they stop distributing the fansubs online and for the fansub groups many of them gladly comply to the warnings and cease all subbing of the alleged work, but as we all know that is not how odex does it stuff. They get court order and blast the crap out of their consumers. Case in point is the 9 yr old kid case.

The isp's - i keep thinking how much of a resistance did the isp's actually put up. Seems to me that their resistance was weak putting up a weak fight to protect it's customers. The fact that court order was given to odex would show that the isp's arent really shielding their customers. probably for the many that have gotten the dreaded letter the isp was their line of defense and that defense crumbled. It would seem to me that some form of transparency is needed to show that is really going on with odex and the court case againts the isps. How the isps really tried to protect us it's customers?

Odex plans? well i would say that for odex the company is pretty much doomed they have incompetent directors that decide to lash out at their customers instead of thinking of ways to salvage the local scene they decided to destroy it all together. Local otakus will never see this company in the same light again. People whom have bought their stuff will feel regret people whom have planned to buy their stuff will now never ever buy their stuff. No matter how great their future plans are they will never succeed now. I am guessing that they probably do not have a contingency plan on how to get out of this mess which they have created. Most probably odex has just thrown themselves into a never ending abyss of hatred.

The goverment of the republic - i would surely like to know what is the goverment's stand in this case, as things have already risen to the national level a response from the goverment would surely be welcomed so that we know that there is a third party which can be involved and be there to decide, instead of a war between the community and odex.

Although odex is not totally wrong but their method will surely be their demise. How far things will go i am not sure, but of odex doesnt do a 180 degrees turnaround things will surely escalate it is just akin to a ticking time bomb.
