Quoted from:This site
Yesterday we covered the story of an RIAA-style legal crackdown on Singapore anime downloaders. One of the strangest aspects of the story was that the anime distributor Odex claimed to have engaged US firm BayTSP to track illicit downloads but then failed to convince a Singapore judge that BayTSP had even been hired by Odex at all. Now, in an effort to clear up the matter, it appears that BayTSP's CEO Mark Ishikawa will show up in Singapore this week to help Odex make its appeal.
After coming up with a list of several thousand Singapore IP addresses that it claimed had been used to download anime content from BitTorrent, Odex went to court in an attempt to force three ISPs to turn over information about the users behind those IP addresses. The first two cases were successful, but the company ran into problems with the third case against local ISP PacNet.

Police are investigating 33 home Internet users here for illegally distributing music files online, as part of a global piracy crackdown by the music industry.
The wave of action is being carried out by the industry's top lobby group, the International Federation for the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), and involves 2,100 legal cases in Europe, Asia and, for the first time, South America.
Singapore Police Force spokesman Inspector Mohd Razif said it received a complaint yesterday from the Record Industry Association of Singapore (Rias) -- the local arm of IFPI -- about the 33 users.
