Hi, this is a fairly new topic, I believe, or at least, has yet to see the light here. So recently I'd caught sight of some interesting UTAU that didn't actually belong to the person posting covers and VB releases with them. Instead, the UTAU were adopted, basically the UTAU were abandoned/inactive and picked up again by another user.
I thought it was interesting, seeing old UTAU get redesigns and fixed voicebanks, but at the same time had kind of mixed feelings on it. Some people think it's wonderful, others are a bit wary and think that there's a line. Consent doesn't really come into play so much in this case, as generally the original creator has not been online for years and therefore has not been contacted and is unaware that their character was 'adopted' in this way. So what are your thoughts? Any questions, concerns?
I personally am somewhat jumbled(partially my stances come from the people I see doing this but idk, I feel as though if one of the more common people on UF for example did the exact same thing, they'd catch fire, just a thought)
