Well UTAU is supported by UTAU, Vocaloid, byeven the MMD and Utaite one too.Pocaloid is uber illegal and is not supported by any studio nor by Yamaha.You can also end up being a target for issues if you put Pocaloid stuff in the wrong place.

That said theres nothing you can do to stop people doing this, even if you lecture them pirates will always be pirates and I've seen the arguments for and against pirating so many times over the years it ain't funny.

If worst somes to worst, its best to encourage them to support the Producers or buy the merchandise if they will not be honest about their practices. At least this puts money back into the Voclaoid software, even if its on a indirect way and only supports the promotion and pockets of the P's. And yes, all Voclaoids have been featured on an album... So they have no excuse, some might be harder to find, but they've all been out there on at least one album.

You can encourage good practicses but you can't force them. :-/
