Karen-T is a label and needs premission from studios before adding any Vocaloid, much like any real singer.

The limiter for Ah-software vocaloid's was that with Karen-T came a step onto i-Tunes, since you need to be under a label to get anywhere on i-Tunes normally. Most Vocaloid groups don't have the power between them to attempt this alone, nor the money and backing. Many of the famous ones before Karen-T was around were promoted via Sony's marketing route, they were lucky enough to get a label backing easily. Either way, without a big promoter backing, there was only so many ways things could be promoted. Internet early vocaloids had a similair problem. :-/

Though in all this, remember the real reason for Karen-T was because artists didn't use the system set out for their work led before them, and not due to the label probems as per such.
