well, and we starting from the begining)))

it's not necessary to put something with "direct money", Youtube-uploads is the way to put something back, fanpages and forums is the way to put something back, even this page putting something back. Promotion is cost some money too, Yamaha and other companies spending some money on promotion, but vocaloid-fandom also do promotion-things (especially overseas fandom, because many people outside the Japan even don't know what is vocaloid). Did promotion brings money? yes! And i think that overseas fandom put more efforts than Yamaha to promote Vocaloids outside the Japan. I suppose that Yamaha have some faults with overseas marketing, too weak. And i see how many efforts going from different countries (fanpages, forums, etc). This is all creates demand on vocaloid-stuff (not only on software but also on some goods like nendroids, t-shirts, etc), but at the same time overseas market have weak supply-lines, Yamaha not doing enough for overseas market. Even when people want to get them direct money - it's not always easy if you are not in Japan. They need money? So, where is the official shops for overseas-countries with honest-prices and without crazy\greedy resellers?
