It is better to discuss and acknowledge the existence of the illegal versions then pretend it doesn't exist. We took the chance in creating this page to better explain the situation and take advantage of explaining why its bad and give alternatives. While the downside is we can make it known of its existence, the upside is education on the matter on all sides of the border.

Its a example of "free speech" as per say, as in by putting up a page on Pocaloid we allow a person to read up on the situation and consider their own morals good or bad. Do you support Pocaloid and then are therefore "immoral" or do you go against it and therefore are "moral"? Though this is not the intentional purpose of the page at all. Its just something I've learnt about putting up "the other side's opinions" in the last few months. IT can have a profound impact.

Either way despite having this page up, we aren't allowed to go much further then explaining and educating the reader on the matter. Its the same for all wikis but... Some get away with doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. For example I found an entire chapter of the Beyblade Manga for Beyblade: Rising on the Beyblade wiki, this is a "no no" but it had been allowed to sit there for months. Too many wikis, too many article pages... It leads to things sitting there that shouldn't. But if someone reported that page with all the uploaded chapter leafs, then action could have been taken by the staff and thats not good. They have been known to flat out delete pages at worst or remove offending stuff. We have seen the latter here which is why we can't say who Big Al or Avanna provider names.
