^^ Even in that case, that's not going to work. First of all, 10,000 units is completely outlandish in the case of VOCALOID voicebanks (with the possible exception of the CFM banks...) Most VOCALOID companies are extremely lucky if they even get 1/10th of that amount sold, and the production costs to fit that demand would be way more costly than the actual creation process and liscencing fees themselves.

Secondly, the sad fact is that out of that number of signatures, again, only a small fraction of that would actually follow through with it... not everyone is going to just jump on board with buying a $100+ vocal synthesizer and related voicebanks, especially if they don't have the music experience or patience to learn such.

Not being critical... I'm just being real. VOCALOID isn't on that big of a scale yet, especially when it comes to English VOCALOIDs. It's the sad truth, and it may just take years more before that happens.
