Sadly this happens a lot.

Its ot so harsh for some like Crypton Future Media since their selling themselves on merchandise and other things and don't nessecary have to rely on purchases of Vocaloid.

But it hurts studios like Zero-G, PowerFX, etc, etc, studios whose only source of cash related to Voclaoids thmselves is their sales.

There are of course other arguments to consider, the idiots who would never buy the software if theres a free version, the culture the person lives in...

Either way, your name becomes mud if your discovered to have Pocalod especially in Japan. Its why UTAU is supported by the UTAU, vocaloid community and the Vocaloid making studios as a healthy alternative to Vocaloid. Especialy if you can't afford a Vocaloid. :-/
