Diz hit the nail on the head.

This reminds me of what someone said during the retirement of Galaco's prize version. That basically, as far as they were concerned, they "won" Galaco fair and square and have no issue Pocaloiding the prize vocal - even though the vocal was retired completely from use at this point.

The vocaloid fans are very much against the idea of openly supporting Pocaloid but turn a blind eye to something which is just as equal illegal, just because it has no impact on sales.

Though there is no clause for alarm for any of us, since so long as nothing is published there is no reason to be alarmed. Its only when works are put up on places like youtube, nico video or soundcloud that there is a problem. Its nothing to do with it encouraging bad behavior, its to do with the copyright on the voices. *sigh* I'm giving the classic example of Ia and Miku... They have slightly different end user agreements to most other vocaloids.
