12,434 illegal downloads doesn't sound a lot... But 1,000 units is the mark for a successful Vocaloid. If those had been sales, alone they would put him on par with the more successful Vocaloids, as we're heading towards "Big 8" direction.

I know those people would never have likely bought the software, but I get concerned when a number of illegal downloads is too high. There was another package with several vocals in that had had 33,000+ downloads, which was far more disastrous then this, but the point is still there. With such a low goal line as 1,000+ packages, any Vocaloid with more then 1,000 illegal downloads is still going to suffer with such a potential loss of costumers who may have bought the software, if a free version wasn't so easy to get hold of...

But we can debate the impact of illegal software all day. I wouldn't have minded so much though, if the numbers have been less then 1,000... :-/
