I fully understand and agree that Pocaloid is not the way to go around this but there are a few things you seem to have forgotten, namely :


 * UTAU while it has grown as a software will never produce the same quality of that as a Vocaloid, and many are put off by the robotic sounds UTAU banks give out


 * None of the Vocaloid characters can be legally used for UTAU (besides upcoming Nana but you can't get her free)


 * Speaking of the above there is still the chance of people using UTAU illegally, whether it's getting Nana for free or managing to get an illegal UTAU copy of a Vocaloid bank. So using UTAU may for the most part be legal there is still the (quite high) chance of it being used for illegal purposes

To sum up: Yes people shouldn't be Pocaloiding but you have to remember UTAU is not for  some and you shouldn't force the notion of using UTAU; just say Pocaloid is a no no

I wasn't trying to force anyone to use it. And I know some people can still use UTAU for illegal stuff, but the program itself is legal where POCALOID isn't. I know the VOCALOIDS cannot be used, but of UTAU is all some people have, I'm sure they can find a VB that sounds like their favorite vocal. And sadly, UTAU isn't as HQ. VOCALOID you're paying for the HQ VB. There are some UTAUs that don't sound robotic (take Aido Ishiame, for example.) and have higher quality VBs. I also believe that the UTAU only sounds as good as it is recorded, tuned, ect.

I just don't like the use of POCALOID at all. And people say "oh it's ok to use it as long as you buy a VOCALOID after." No it's not. It's still stealing. That's like saying "It's ok to steal something, as long as you give back to the people you stole from." Studios work very hard to make their VOCALOIDS, and people just take it for granted. It isn't right.
