When the old NKF were suing people in court, they were laughing to the bank. Easy money when the other party could not pay the legal fees and gave up the fight. The rest is history.
Then Virtual Map also sued many users who copied their maps without persmission and were laughing to the bank with the high compensation claims. Virtual Map has been sued by Singapore Land Authority and lost. They are appealing.
For the moment Odex is in a way repeating history, claiming compensations from illegal downloaders. Will history be repeated?
Oh yes, it is an easy way to make money. Like Creative suing Apple and getting US$100m compensation. That is the way things work in America and the West and we are following suit.
