A year ago, Odex, an anime licenser/distributor in Singapore sent cease and desist orders to users, and even had Internet company Comcast involved. [original post] The courts slapped them on the wrist saying that they cannot take someone to court because they do not own the original copyright. They then appealed to 5 major animation companies in Japan, and they decided to step forward. Showgate, Geneon Entertainment, TV Tokyo, GDH, and Sunrise have all stepped forward to help, they have sent letters to 4 persons to make them stop. The 4 have all refused to settle out of court.
