Talk:VOCALOID Piracy/@comment-95.67.106.110-20130503113419

FE is overseas Vocaloid-fandom project (not any of crackers team), not  ALL fandom of course but big part of it. We have a lot of things to criticize Yamaha: 1.many bugs in official software, i.e. bugs of activation process, 2. software sometimes is too japanese (official vocalistener needs for japanese local, Job plugin SDK pdf is only in japanese, UG-plugins can be obtained only japanese registration (registration on japanese part of the vocaloidstore), English vocaloidstore have only 7 libraries as downloadable version and 1 as box (this is very bad because japanese dealers adding sometimes around 100$ to official price for box version, just for what? for nothing?) 3. Vocaloid products are highly overpriced because in practice this is just a toy for 14-18years old teenagers which not using vocaloid for getting commercial benefits

interface translation is not illegal thing, because contains user-created ini-files (with notepad), without changing vocaloid-code, those translations could be used even with legit versions. PDF-manual creation is not forbidden by the law, PDF-format is not property of Yamaha

btw, Free stuff brings a huge advertise for Yamaha, many people use it as try&buy (only Megpoid English have public trial), Youtube-uploads are highly increasing, more people around the world learning about vocaloid, it's all for the worldwide popularity.

of course you can say that this is bad thing...from the "law-side", you're laywer? or working for Yamaha? But for many usual people this is a good thing, they are not rich, they are not blind for the problems of legit versions. I'm not promote illegal usage, everyone have a choise, but music creation shouldn't be stopped by bunch of lawers, and even Yamaha will not fight against usual people. You telling "Yamaha doesn't support such things", but I tell you "Yamaha doesn't support YOU in your blacklist idea"
