Fansub viewers all over the world targetted, by mistake

There was controversy in the online anime community earlier this week after it had been revealed that Singaporean anime distributor ODEX and US copyright enforcers BayTSP were sending out legal notices to random anime fans found to be downloading fansubbed episodes of series like Ouran High School Host Club and Gundam 00. These notices were received by anime fans located in the US, Japan and France.

Days later, ODEX and BayTSP acknowledged that they had made a mistake; they only intended to target downloaders in Singapore, but BayTSP incorrectly went ahead tracked down anime fans all over the world anyway. Presumably, all legal action against the accused people has been dropped.
