Can I just establish something here.

FIY; Until 2006, I used rom emulations such as the Megadrive/genesis and I read One Piece manga scans. I got into Pokemon because I admit I had the roms of the games up until Pearl/Diamond.

I'm 31, been to art university and have acquired a "credit where credit is due" policy years. I also understand you need to toss money at things or they don't happen in this world. Its not so much about the law as it is about the support. I understand the consequences of a fandoms collective actions.

I'm also on the fence about legal things and do believe software pirating is good for a product if it leads to actual purchases in the future. In other words, a sacrifice for the sake of a better future. I also know its rare anyone gets in trouble for it, but with a lot of young producers in this fandom any one of them could end up ruining any chance of a career if the wrong word gets out. I cansee all sides to the argument, but I won't be seen supporting it over the legal version 100% and believe everyone should buy it to support the software.

For some Vocaloids, the software is their only of turning profit.

So tell me on a black and white scale, where do I sit again? I think I'm more in the grey, slightly leaning on white" in my personnel opinion right then mostly white.
