THE Subordinate Courts are expected to rule on Thursday on whether Internet service provider Pacific Internet (PacNet) must disclose the names of up to 1,000 alleged anime downloaders.
WHY IT MATTERS
This is believed to be one of the largest crackdowns on illegal Internet downloading by home-users in Singapore.
Anime distributor Odex has been on the offensive against illegal downloaders since May.
Earlier, it won a court order forcing StarHub to disclose the identities of about 1,000 subscribers who are accused of illegally downloading Japanese animation.
In May, it went after 17 SingNet subscribers after obtaining a similar court order.
The court hearing against PacNet lasted over four hours last week.
