Channel News Asia reports that Odex is back in court with PacNet in Singapore today, trying to prove that although they are a sub-licensee, they have the right to take PacNet to court to try and force them to give up info on subscribers who downloaded anime.

But even if Odex loses the appeal, apparently Odex’s lawyer has announced that currently undisclosed Japanese companies have made an application to join the suit as complaining parties in the event that the courts maintain that Odex isn’t the right party to go after the downloaders.

No date has been set for the appeal’s ruling, and the names of the companies who have potentially signed on to the suit have not been revealed.
