 * 1) Vocaloid is not a audio tuning software though...
 * 2) The reason for the expensive price is that a real singer puts their voice behind each vocal, software developement, and the licenses (studios buy a license from Yamaha, for overseas that license is more expensive) that go along with the vocaloid itself.
 * 3) Trust me when I say this; no amount of security stops people doing this sort of thing, people have even cracked iPod software and things like this, their capable of hacking into mobile phones...
 * 4) We encourage UTAU for those who cannot afford Vocaloid, it may not be the high quality product Vocaloid is, but its advantages put it on par with vocaloid. Supporting UTAU is better the Pocaloid, but we have no control over this.  All we can say is Pocaloid is not support by many places, but UTAU is welcomed even by some of the offical studios, plus there is a whole community build around this software.

Also, some say that the reason Pocaloid first existed, was it was to fix some issues with vocaloid2, obivous no matter what that is no longer a excuse even if this is true, however, if this is true its pretty much stayed bad from there. Early vocaloid2 software had flaws, though Pocaloid was no excuse. There are also keygens, which work for any software not just Vocaloid. The whole software industry suffers from issues from this problem, as expensive as the software is its better to be legit then illegal, though many do not see this as that. Unless a fan pours money back into their fandom, they do not hep that fandom at all.

Though honestly, having been on the net for over a decade, no amount of lectures fix a problem and this is pretty much one of those "welcome to the internet" things. :-/
