regarding the baytsp finding 400k instances from singapore concluding the largest download population….

i have doubts……400k instances ok….they tracked for 6 months
average = around 60k instances per month. (including same ppl downloading diffrent other anime at the same time and ppl who turn off and on their pc while downloading half-way)

from what i have observed over bittorrent is that the peer list, and the result is always the same. Out of the whole, i find at most only 4 local peers. This is the same for many other torrents.
Majority being people from the states, europe and such….
you can see how many US flags in the list >.<
but hardly do i find locals.

Totally not convincing…..

After reading this post, I feel that it is quite true that not much local anime fans know of Odex’s existence.

I may not be an anime fan, but I do watch anime. I have not heard of my anime-fan friends talk about Odex and stuff.

From what I have read, Odex doesn’t seem to be doing their job by communicating with the community. It seems as if they start a business just to make big money. However, if they do not cater to the needs of their consumers and respond to their feedbacks, they will not earn much. I agree that Odex should respond to the local anime community’s feedbacks.

Since there are problems with the company’s doings, they should improve. If not, why would Odex set up a forum (unfortunately, it is closed down) to allow anime fans to comment?

Since the administrator didn’t care much by not replying the comments and feedbacks of the local anime fans, then he should not have set up the forum at an earlier time. Consumers have their rights in getting the best quality of things. And by being a producer, Odex has to fulfil the needs of the consumers.

I am just stating my opinion. Hopefully I do not sound harsh.

Seriously, I don’t mind the whole lot (the ENTIRE anime community in Singapore) to go find Odex and talk it out. Who knows? Maybe the quantity might scare them off, or at least increase the chance of a successful off-court agreement.

Just a thought – what if the “offenders” bought the original DVD releases of whatever they’ve downloaded? They’ve every right to duplicate their legitimately purchased copy – it shouldn’t matter if they ripped it from the DVD or just so happen to downloaded a conveniently packaged high quality AVI/WMA version via torrent or flaccidshare.

I mean, I own legit music CDs and there’s nothing that says I can’t make a copy for my car stereo AND rip it as an MP3 for my iPod – as long as I don’t share or profit from it.

Fuck ODEX. Their subtitles on all their releases suck so bad, you’d think they hired some 6 year old to piece that shit altogether.
