BayTSP&#8217;s chief executive officer Mark Ishikawa is flying all the way to Singapore to help them with their case. And he&#8217;s of Japanese descent too! (Well, actually that&#8217;s probably unrelated.) Apparently Odex did pay them after all, so I guess it was just a case of terrible paperwork caught in the whirlpool of bureaucratic inefficiencies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr Graham [Ishikawa&#8217;s publicist] told Today: &#8220;Mark will be working with Odex to demonstrate that we were under contract to Odex and that our data identified the IP addresses of individuals who were downloading and sharing copyrighted material licensed by Odex.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now Odex just has to rope in the Japanese studios to establish its right to take civil actions.

It doesn&#8217;t really offer any new perspective, but hey now we know that at least one other person on the global tube network knows of Singapore&#8217;s existence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Okay, so we aren&#8217;t shocked. The whole situation (except for the recent judicial decision) has been sadly predictable and looks set to cost Odex plenty of bad press from its biggest potential customers before this is all over. Will it work out well for the company in the end? Time will tell, but if we judge by the RIAA&#8217;s example, cracking down on file-swapping could take years and a serious war chest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the rest of it on <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/news.ars\/post\/20070827-riaa-style-lawsuits-hit-singapore-anime-scene.html\">ars technica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news for Odex.
