Looks like Xizor was right on the money with this piece of news. He pointed out that some time ago, there might have been a link between Odex and Games Mart in his older blog post. Well looks like its out in the papers:
A ONE-TIME firm started by the men behind Odex, the company at the centre of a crackdown on illegal downloading of anime, was itself raided by police for copyright infringement.
The firm – Games Mart – was set up by Odex director Peter Go in 1994 to sell video game consoles, games and accessories.
An Odex spokeman said it was raided in 1999 by the police for peddling counterfeit game controllers and other accessories.
The spokesman said that Games Mart was shut down in 2004.
