Public protests are rare in Singapore, since the demonstrations and any public meetings are forbidden, and special permission is required for the street measure with the participation of more than four people.
At the end of August firm Roboxo, which specializes in the propagation of the license Japanese of robots, it turned to the Singapore Internet providers with the requirement to give out the data about the suspected of the illegal propagation cartoons.
Several providers agreed to transmit information; however, law court deflected requirement Roboxo, justifying his solution fact that action can give only the owner of production, but not its spreader. Thus, the attempts of the firm to punish pirates thus far to nothing did not lead.
