      according to the chinese papers today. 17 singaporeans have been issued with warning letters from the Singapore Anti-Video Piracy Association (AVPA) regarding illegal downloading of animes. Mad

      AVPA also says they will work with Singnet, Starhub and Pac net to nab more illegal downloaders. Mad

      WTF!? Mad

      singapore anime fanbase will be doomed. where else can we get to watch anime 1 day after Japan? Mad

      on starhub cable and it crappy china accented dub, which takes months, even years to get to shown on TV? Mad

      it will also affect the local toys/collectibles/figurines/modelling industry. Mad

      Next time they'll just compact everything into rmvb format and share it on upload sites like megaupload. Better still, file transfer on msn live messenger. Laughing

      You know, its not people don't want to buy, its they sell it so expensive that people can't afford to buy, in the end they blame us for downloading it from then net.

      What's more, the quality of the anime they sell sux... whether is it video quality, dub or sub.
