Recall: Some company director was clamping down on illegal downloads: anime specifically. However, he had left gloating comments on one of the forum that he frequent. This was subsequently dug up by hardwarezone members.
News Update

Summary: Basically, he called the police for protection as there was some comments left by forumers that might threaten his life etc. When asked for his comments on the forum which he left, he said that it was out of spite of a downloader which he met and left an unpleasant experience. However, hardwarezone CSI again set to work and found out something 'Unusual'Courtesy from here
Well, what can I say? A picture says a thousand words. For more information you can look at one of the cnet entry which includes link to the undertaking which people need to sign to agree to the out of court/settlement thingz. Its clearly is one sided but poor people has the lower hand here.
Now, the next day one of the senior reporter made a report on the following:

Well, I agree with this reporter. Fans are the one that provide companies to bring in anime. Actually not just anime but various different language of variety show. As the saying goes. Whenever theres demand, theres supply. What some company are doing is killing supply IMO.
Even when they said that they are curbing down the downloads, they should at the very best give out clear warnings rather than use back dated informations to witch-hunt supplies. What *censored* is doing is just going to gather more hate from the public. Instead of witch hunting, why not cooperate with the fans here. To ensure that theres' always demand from the public for their goods? Well, don't know what I'm saying here but don't think anyone will read on this anyway haha..
On the very next day of the article from the senior reporter, another article came out from the same news paper to rebuke his comments. Sorry but do not have the article picture with me. So, i can't blog much about it as i didn't read that article also.
Anyway, this few days is the eye of the typhoon. Nothing new had happened yet which might still be the on pending case of the pacific internet ISP case. To reveal or not to that is the question. Oh and read darkmirage post. It will provide more insight. Basically a summary haha.
