I have no problem with people wanting a 'right to privacy', but this is getting a bit irritating that them providing their voice for software is an issue 'now' rather than previously. That 'steal your voice' thing seems to be an English stigma.

If anything I can admit to about the whole voice provider issue, it's actually garnering a lot more interest in the actual voice providers as opposed to wanting to steal their vocals... which aren't even near perfectly replicated in the first place. Nothing beats the original, so in looking up the voices behind the voice banks, I've found a lot more artists to listen to that I either never really knew of or didn't take enough notice in the past... all a huge thanks to the VOCALOID franchise. So it's kind of disappointing when the paranoia still persists and people don't want to be openly involved with Vocaloids. I mean, it's not going to strip away what they've worked hard for... more or less, it's a chance to bring in a few more potential fans that would appreciate it.

At least... that's how I see it. (・_・)
