The Electic New Paper of Singapore has an article up about the crack-down on anime downloading that’s been going on in Singapore via the company Odex, which was originally reported on back in May. But their article has a somewhat different take: talking to the young students who were caught - and their parents. The youngest of the downloaders was nine years old. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess he got one of the lesser punishments, as opposed to the highest - up to $20,000 in fines and six months in prison.

I’m disappointed that caning is not mentioned. :P
Besides, Odex’s anime disks are cheap cheap cheap! (My Boys Be dvds still are cheaper than the Right Stuf release after import costs.)
