In any case, [b]they may be legally right, but they are certainly
morally wrong to issue such warning letters and
threatening legal actions for 'illegal' downloading.
I don't understand how can even things like animes (and musics,
movies, etc) can be commercialised till this ridiculous stage. How
can anything be an intellectual 'property'?
What's more ridiculous is that they made it seemed as if these
'illegal downloaders' have committed great crimes and sins against
humanities when it's just...anime! Something that anyone can easily
produce themselves.
This is such an insult to creation and certainly the arts, an
infringment on the the rights of the public to appreciate these
simple form of entertainment. I support the people who are taking
legal actions against Odex. They're doing more harm to the society
than these so call 'illegal downloaders'.[/b]
i don't know about anime, but regarding music, do you think
people like paris hilton and britney spears need anymore money? in
fact they're abusing the money spent on them by destroying their
lives.
