That "Pocaloid" problem could be fixed by Yamaha, but they are too greedy and egoistic, Vocaloid DB development - 3-5k$, 1 copy cost ~100-150$, just about 50copies is enough to get their money back, but they want to get big profit in easy way. They won't to thing that is possible to get MORE money if starting to sell DB's for 30-50$, at least few thousands of people using cracked version just because they can't afford it. 1000*150$=150k$, 3000*50$=150k$

also many people using UTAU because Vocaloid is very expensive (editor + several libraries are about 500$ and even more), so Yamaha can get new users from UTAU-community if start to sell vocaloids for lower price.

Also they have to change license agreement and divide software versions: for commercial and for non-commercial usage.

And one more thing: in real world singers and actors have very small profit from their work, so called "rightholders" using them to get big money.
