In deed, "Professionalism", lack of it, is the subject of the problem... And why everything is in a mess.

In the case of Planty-P, my only reason for doubt on any trust isn't because he did something major, but two things questionable. Otherwise, all I would criticize him for is also displaying a lack of professionalism again because there is one or two issues which could have been tightened.

Of the two incidents, both of which happened no more then a year ago, 575 is the worst one. but of the two incidents, 575 was also the one I'd put down to "nativity". It was certainly naive to presume if you owned 575 and V3 it was fine to use the two voices in V3, when the licensing for the two vocals doesn't cover the use within vocaloid. This means that if you make a song with these two voices, Yamaha won't support the use and this also means you can't legally use the software commercially either.

To be honest, aside from the ability to do so... There was no advantage to using their vocals, and even less for the VY1 voices he also pass on the info for so everyone knew how to do the same thing. Of all the vocals, VY1 is the only I sort of laughed at.... Erm... Hers a pretty good question... So why would you want a LQ version of something HQ to begin with if you own the V3 editor? I mean if one is going to do something illegal, why bother with eating crumbs when you can eat the whole bread? It kinda... Never made sense...

I pretty much don't have so much concerns for illegal voices though, as I said before tehre are a frew benefits that make me turn a blind eye to certain things about it. If someone tries a vocal then buys it, the illegal version has served a purpose... And for private use who cares, I mean I live in the UK and by law your allowed to have back up copies of things so long as your not a: passing them to your friends or b: selling them. The moment you sell something or pass it to someone else, thats when you break the law. So my point of view is based around the UK's law. Plus, as I said before scanalations and torrents lead to my love and money support of several things. I would not own any of the pokemon games nor a single volume of One Piece without them.

And honestly... Compared to others like the aforementioned Ricardo, there isn't any alarm bells to go off with Planty-P and people have done far, far worst. He should have done his research though in regards to this. I can take it as innocence, but innocence is something you only can gave once... Which then lead to the NEXT problem.

Anon & Kanon was something that was more morally wrong and not so much of a legal issue as the demo he passed the url around to did contain propr licensing, there was just no indication it was ever going to be issued for everyone to try. So his fault in this case was doing something before a company gave everyone permission to use it, and the moral issue at hand was a lack of respect for the company itself. they may have intended to release the demo, but they removed the file upon being alerted to it being linked to, and by doing what he did, he may have deprived the community itself from the chance to use the demo versions legitly and with moral grounds.

This is the only problems wrong with Planty-P, and its just a matter of his doing this as I said just too soon... Even if he hadn't have had a rep problem, he is still relatively "new" to many over all and doesn't have as big of a name as some others in the fandom, even by western standards he is still a relatively unknown person.

Fan projects though, overall can be problematic, simply because while fans are passionate, they are rarely professional. Fans are better at showing support, rather then handling the forefront, there are exceptions. But the wikia itself is a example of a typical fan-project... Its built on dedication and passion, I won't speak for everyone but I certainly haven't seen anyone say "I'm a professional!" here. Hmmm...

I think I have too much to say on these things... V3's had the most expansive and the most problematic engine version. It certainly has shaken the status quo...

But regardless... this doesn't change I made a mess because I was getting fed up and everything finally reached a boiling point last week. I know I'm a fan, but I should be more professional myself and learn to set a better example. I'm not a good representative of this wikia. >_<
