Unfortunately, though a lot of youtubers believe that they are doing the producers a favour, the producers do not. They'd rather people visit the original videos and Nico video is pretty much the entire history of vocaloid. Not having it on youtube is not a biggy as youtube isn't where Vocaloid took off the most.

You can remove the problem videos, but if the videos in their channel aren't theirs they can loose it at any moment -period-.

If they made their own videos and uploaded them, that would be fine. This is how youtube works. Youcan have *some* copy righted material up if used within fair usage terms. But you can't just upload something that isn't yours and not be up for copyright.

If the English speakers want to be prt of Vocaloid history, or see it, they either need to learn Japnese or at least Nico video and visit them. The channel owners can help direct the viewers to the website by coming up with videos they put the effort into (like review of the song) and make people aware of the video. But a lazy copy + upload is going to hit out every time.

Youtube is a cold place and it just doesn't care about good intentions. And honestly... Whats wrong with a little review of a music video or something, its better and will get more information/thoughts out there. You can go in depth and all that. So long as only clips of the song, not the entirity of the song, its not going to be too bad.

There is more then way to promote Vocaloid. Heck, isn't this the point of the wikia or forums like Vocaloid Otaku? :-/
