@SirVancelot, I presumed you didn't want to go into to depth anyway because this whole thing can't be fit into 15 mins... Your video is basically the skim-through version of the events with no details.

You put a lot of sympathy towards Planty and his own actions in the video, while stressing thatPlanty is a victim of his own actions. This is fine... But the ending... I wasn't settled by your comments about you were fine with the XSY of two vocals so lon as a person owns two vocals ecause this is illegal regardless.... I'd have kept that off just to not take a side and remain neutral. I'm not saying its not right to take a side but this type of situation its best not to side for or against.

Take in mind, I'm not against illegal vocaloid myself - so long as it leads to sales of ACTUAL vocaloids. I myself Pirated One Piece before I went honest and am buying the manga, I also own 4 P.O.P. figures. It was the same for pokemon and I've got every game from Pearl/Diamond to X/Y, save Black 2... I also own the Ruby remake, Ruby and Sapphire....

I'm not really discussing whats morally right or wrong here though. just talking about the ideal situation. Sadly in the 15 years or so I've been on the net, not everyone is going to go honest and a large chunk of the fans will not pay for the thing they love. With vocaloid the % of illegal downloads is higher then purchases in several vocaloid cases. So the whole thing situation is not ideal and won't be until things settle and people start realising the price of their actions.

I'd just bare this all in mind. Man I wish the situation was better... The topic which highlighted VY2 had 12,000+ downloads showed multiple vocal torrents getting as high as 100,000+ downloads. :-(
