NEW BLOG!

I have migrated my blogspot blog to wordpress because i like some of the features on offer for the moment there will be concurrent updates on both.

Not much random things happening in the world today… tat’s why the blog is growing quiet..

but in order to do justice to the amazing creation of the singapore government that is the GSS , like any good member of the proletariat i took my wallet out and spent. a lot. bought a nice top from topman, cargo jacket and pants from S & K. Now i mourn my loss for the next week or so while i pray i recover in time before the sale ends. woe is me.

am looking to acquire a nice tagger bag. Tagger bags for those not in the know allows you to choose the flap, base colour and strap. And the parts are all interchangeable. My eventual creation was this…BEHOLD! Nice eh? 129 gotta start saving.

Sorry Qiuyu

hai all if your wondering where the post been i have moved it to drafts together with all the comments. If any of you so called “friends” want it put back up just tell me, i’m sure you would want whats best for your girl.

first of all sorry qiuyu you weren’t supposed to see that. I post a lot of personal stuff about that blog and just recently it was made public, so it really was an oversight on my part. if it means anything i didn’t really think of all those things your “friends” said. I just thought you could do without the makeup thats all. period. you didn’t need it you are already very pretty without it and i would have told you so myself if i knew you any better.

second the post was really less malicious than it looked. i didn’t say anything about her beauty without makeup. i didn’t use vulgarities. my main point was the makeup looked ugly. and she didn’t need it because she looked distinctively better without it! I would have told her if i didn’t think it wouldn’t be rude, becos frankly speaking qiuyu and i are not very close and she knows that as well. When was the last time any of you went up to a girl you don’t know very well and said her makeup was ugly? it would be better if someone she knew hinted to her about it and not spread the link like wildfire becos seriously by doing that, your not being much help.

third i don’t know who you all and what sort of things you all blog about. but i don’t blog every single mundane event of my life. i blog stuff which i remember when i come home late and just when i’m about to hit the couch. and most of the time this stuff just comes straight out of my head into the computer. so yes forgive me for devoting one single offhand post to one single thing that i can remember in one single day. each one of your posts was way longer than that. you guys win hands down for blowing it out of proportion.

I’m finally out of that god damm place :)

I have a learnt a lot during my time in Zouk that i couldn’t have learnt anywhere else and saw a great deal (and earned a lot less). And i’m sure that i’ll look better upon this time with great fondness. But for now i just want to rest :)

Recently there’s been some uproar in the local ani…

Recently there’s been some uproar in the local anime community because the main distributor of anime in Singapore, ODEX has just sent a settlement letter to an anime fansubber who downloaded one of their copyrighted materials. Now people are complaining well, because they love to complain (not talking about you tk!)

http://www.riuva.com/astuff/letter.pdf – copy of that letter

Now just several points to highlight:

1. Downloading copyrighted material infringes copyright law. And the company who owns the copyright has the right to prosecute. No argument there. Unless you can somehow twist the law. In which case i salute you.

2. In the US theres the mentality that if an anime is licensed for release, distribution of the fansub is halted at least by those who care about the companies who care to spend money to bring the stuff in. Now thats respect. No such mentality here.

3. If your willing to spend money on anime merchandise you should be willing to spend money to buy the medium on which the anime is stored on. Because this directly affects the companies who produce the anime as well.

4. Local fansub watchers know they have been playing a dangerous, illegal game. in the words of TK you gotta know when to fold, before the house crashes on you.

5. ODEX can’t and won’t bother to persecute you, if your not distributing material for which they have not obtained license for, and which they will not get revenue from. they don’t have the incentive to, they don’t have the right to, its god damm free speech. So go ahead and choose wisely.

6. http://miyamoto-sensei.com/lolicontrol/2006/12/31/i-talked-to-odex/
According to this the goverment plans to blanket ban all anime downloads. first of all they wouldn’t have much incentive to. Second of all they would not be able to (see point 5). The most they can do is publicise via their local mouthpiece the legal persecution. And other speculation is just playing into their hands by driving fear into the minds of fansub downloaders.

So basically the situation has’t changed overnight. the stakes just got higher.
