Still illegal to own this version.

I've used that excuse myself when I was rom-downloading Megadrive/genesis games back in 2002-2004. But no, its not legal. ^_-

I've heard all the cases for and against this kind of thing.

Retirment does not always result in immediate removal and retired voicebanks can go on for to sell for a while while the stocks run dry. Megpoid is still, I believe, able to be bought. the same thing happened with VY1.

Quite honestly V3 Megpoid - Native pretty much is the updated versionand aside from less raspiness (due to cleaner samples) and new things like Triphons, the two voicebanks are more or less the same.
