I think that's true everywhere, not only in Singapore.

Depends on the website. I would personally recommend Crunchyroll if you want the best site to stream legally. For their HD stuff, they have a free 14-day trial, and it's only $7 a month. But if you don't care about higher resolutions, I think you can watch most anime for free there. A list of every anime they have: http://www.crunchyroll.com/videos/anime/alpha?group=all

Yeah it's illegal. There are some legal streaming sites but they're blocked in a lot of other countries, so I don't know if you could access them from Singapore.

I used to live in Singapore. As far as I can remember, most of the anime that I watched back then were streamed online, and I also have Singaporean friends who do the same. Not once did we get into any trouble for that.
They do have regulations regarding these kinds of piracy-related things but I don't think they really enforce it, at least not for stuff like anime which they generally see as insignificant there.
Don't live selfishly. Preserve every past moment and reserve every future path only for YOURSELF!



Don't ever think of controlling fate, only YOURSELF!

This holds true for most of the planet.

It's a legal grey area.

If they were to take action, I'm sure they'd go for the uploader, the person responsible for making the content available.

if you are that concerned then use a vpn service or get a seedbox.

i don't think i'd ever lower myself to streaming.

That last part depends on the Country. Pretty sure Singapore hunts down downloaders too.

Yes it is, but streaming from dubious websites that use fan-subs as opposed to official translations are not.

If you're dead-set on streaming your anime, I recommend that you watch the official stuff; supporting the industry aside you will benefit from less spyware that way (being optimistic here). Oh and if you want to use crunchyroll to stream, I would avoid the 1080p option since it just upscales most anime and wastes your bandwidth

also 'simulcasting' = 'weekslatercasting'

If you do not have a permission from the copyright/license holder or if it has not went into public domain then it is illegal to stream,download,torrent,redistribute, make copies for selling and in some places it even illegal to make a back up copy of it.Some places the penalties can range from civil to criminal.
