This isn't meant to be a calling out thread but rather a thread where voicebank creators experienced having their voicebank stolen can talk about their experience and for them and/or others to give advice from keeping their voicebank/utau avatar from being stolen.
From the day I started created my utau, I was very worried about voicebank thieves so I only talked about personal details about her with my friends privately and never showed off her full name (I used her nickname instead, Hime-chan, should I name her which a lot of utau are named so I didn't worry much about that getting stolen), only used her silhouette/covered design when showing her off on SoundCloud and YouTube since stealing that won't warrant much when stealing without the full design and because I still wanted something others to attribute to her before she was released, and only giving the link to her beta voicebanks to my friends since I trust them.
When I made a "preview demo reel" and shared it at a Google+ UTAU community, someone commented asking if the voicebank was mine. After I said yes, they then immediately asked if we wanted to be friends which I ignored since it found it really suspicious :/
Any advice/comments? Feel free to talk about your experiences as well.
