@Cats, so long as I don't know if the vocaloid is illegal, I'm none the wiser, I've only ever had issues with the dumb ones who can't keep things quiet about their action. And when caught... Then try and lie/hide/whatever about their usage without just being open and saying "okay I got caught...".

The number of producers with illegal vocaloids is often high in areas such as the Philippines, China, Mexico, etc. Wherein the rich-poor situation holds people back. I'd rather spend time telling people alternatives to illegal Vocaloid or getting them to understand there is consequences of their actions or supporting those behind the illegal vocaloid. Beyond that, that's where my interest ends.

I know a number of year back there were fans who harassed the pocaloid users on youtube... This gives our fandom a bad reputation. The better option is just not to watch a producer who supports it, or support them. Boycotting sends a better signal then harassment.

On the topic of illegal vocaloid, I will say the problem the wiki faces;

I know the guys at VO forums once referred to our situation with illegal vocaloid as "Draconic", but we don't have the options as a wikia on certain subjects. Our pages can be deleted and information removed by the greater wiki staff, and that's just that. We had it before with Big Al and Avanna's providers, hence why we're not allowed to reveal them here. I don't think everyone in the fandom understands the situation.

We're not here to police the fandom and our own concerns are just keeping it off the wiki when known as it can break terms with the greater wiki staff. Every wiki abides to these rules. Even Wikipedia has its own set of rules to abide to. :-?
