More bad news for Singaporean anime lovers
Source: ANN
I have been reading about this in blogs for a while, and what is going on must really suck. I feel sorry for people who live in Singapore and can't download their anime. I bet it's only a matter of time until that is how it is for the rest of the world...

I want to live in a world like Ghost in the Shell! >.< GO, CYBERPUNK, GO!!
LOL XD
Edit :
I just thought of something Odex can't do anything really. The IPS provider cannot provide the IPs because of confendiality issue. It's like Visa gives away my credit card number to unknow person without me knowning it.

*has no mercy for himself* Does that make me a psychopath?
Though at the same time, I wish people would be more laid back and open about controversial topics... though I suppose most people in my generation are fairly open.
And that we could figure out a better system then our current punishments and economy. IE, learn to heal other's wounds instead of punishing them for it, and learn to disown selfishness and the ideal that people deserve rewards for doing good and instead learn that doing good is it's own reward... if that's possible.
I'm pretty sure I scare my family as much as myself. Now then, I should petition for a reinstatement of the prohibition already D:

I'm from Singapore and yeah i've stopped downloading animes because of this. It really sucks... I don't even dare to download unlicensed anime just in case there's a problem. But i don't think it will spread to the rest of the world. The internet is not that easy to regulate. Its just that Singapore's "an amusement park with capital punishment". The government cracks down hard on everything. Something to do with our small size and upholding our reputation, i think.
I'm sorry, but Singapore has to be the one of the most authoritarian states in the world. In about 50 years, it'll probably be death sentence for every single offense that one commits.
At least nobody spits on the ground there, eh?

Zel mentioned that it's only a matter of time until this course of action gets taken up by other countries.. but that may not be the case too, since our banning of chewing gums here is not really happening to the rest of the world.

I truly feel sorry for those folks in Singapore.
And for my buddies over there.

But if it would spread, probably at least some(many) will upload anime at streaming sites to watch.. I guess.

Actually people still do, haha. Despite being small, its still impossible to monitor 4 million people but i don't want to take the chance.
