The recent case where anime fans have been sending letters threatening to sue anime downloaders has touched a raw nerve amongst online citizens. It seems that the company Odex (who owns the license to distribute a number of anime series in Singapore) is becoming the most hated corporation in the local online world, especially among the vocal anime fans. It is interesting that the seemingly "apolitical" youths of the nation are actually fighting back and becoming "activists" in this backlash.
Update: It appears that this site has gone dark. Maybe the folks doing the site has chickened out. Ah well, the revolution ends here, at least for now.
