THE High Court on Tuesday dismissed anime distributor Odex’s attempt to obtain the names of PacNet (previously called Pacific Internet) customers who had allegedly downloaded the animated Japanese cartoons. Instead, it ordered the Internet service provider to reveal their identities to six Japanese anime studios

Update from ANN which I read about -
Odex has also been ordered to pay 20,000 Singapore dollars (about US$14,000) for Pacnet’s legal costs.
Now things are taking a lil twist, instead of ordered to give names to Odex, the anime studios will get the identities instead. I am sure this is not the end.
Will anime studios get legal representatives to send letters to the downloaders ? While AVAPAS and Odex (to my very own knowledge) are not legal reps to do so, will anime studios be willing to incur costs to file multiple overseas suits ?
Hell…they shld just take care of downloaders from their own country first.

In an unrelated talk, where can I get Melty Blood?
