Morally its wrong.

Unfortunately, its a relied upon practice hence why it goes on. :-/

Just like with anime dubs and subs, anime fans make up the vast majority of the Vocaloid fandom, leaving things pear shaped... Unfortunately, its also the part of the fandom least likely to be easy to control.

With the MLP: FiM fandom, Hasbro are less likely to remove their material if it HQ or exact, but LQ and flipped cuts of scenes they seem to leave alone. So reviewers and fans rely on this to do things.

In the Vocaloid fandom, its a mess.

Just as how there is no canon to direct the fandom on things a legit storyline would resolve in one episode, there is no universal footing on about licensing. People are not aware one song might have a different licensing to another or what not, and therefore, it creates this vagueness and makes the Vocaloid fandom a utter mess.

ITs also why Neru, Haku and Teto get labelled as "vocaloids" and why "Japanese Luka does better English then English Luka does"... And all the other hundred or so myths and beliefs the fandom creates. O_O

Basically, this is a issue that sadly, Vocaloid itself by its own nature, ends up unintentionally creating. And due to the culture differences between the west and Japan, not something in many cases that is resolved easy. I remember when the Beyblade fandom reacted to a event, and the pure ignorance and selfishness displayed by a few spoiled everything for the many. And this is the same thing occurring. :-/
