It has been explained why it's illegal and unethical a bunch of times throughout the thread. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. And it doesn't matter what Planty says about this, because whether he supports it or not, using Matcha/Azuki outside of their intention is wrong. Asking about any illegal activity will only worsen the past reputation he had and it's much better to put behind for not only him, but for others as well. Even if a famous user says and retracts a statement, it will be used indefinitely. People will take what they say as infallible truth and copy. If a user promotes anything from simply only using after effects as your tuning, to never using a voicebank based on a demo song to illegally using a voice, it'll get copied no matter what they say after. Unfortunately nothing can be done about it for now. :(
