I thought I commented on this.... but it seems I forgot to post my reply back then
FIRST
I downloaded the bank, the bank is loaded with white noise. I have encountered 2 cases of VOCALOID exported UTAU banks in the past: One was a SeeU version for UTAU from a mexican user that I still have as evidence and the girl did take her down by herself when I told her that it was wrong.
The second was Ariel Mermoik, UTAULOID from a Spaniard user that had the voice extracted from GUMI ACT2. The user took down the bank after harassment started here.
While I do appreciate the fact UTAU users like to keep voicebanks in the legal edge, I do not like the fact of harasment with only \"I think it sounds like...\". The voicebank samples are clearly recorded by the user due the big ammount of white noise in them. VOCALOID extracted samples have no noise at all due the method of recording the vocals.
The fact of having a similar voice-type/accent does not make it guilty of what is charged.
So please.... all those who left bad comments about NOVA voicer... STOP. Apologyze with the guy for the inconvenient.
NOVA will not go the the blacklist of the Wiki. There's no crime here. PERIOD.
Thats the reason i asked other users opinion first before telling him anything. The rumor spreaded out and many users told nova's creator to take it down and stuff.

Yeah, the thread started "well" but as I saw on the video that was linked, many people acussed right away that he was stealing VY2 voice, some without even considering the "similar voice-type" possibility.
I read your thread right away and I did DL nova to check if this was truth... but from experience from other people's stealing banks... this was far from being one of these cases. I actually wrote a comment that the bank was ok and I didn't see any problem. But it seems I closed the tab by error and didnt post it on the first time (this happens to me when I am dealing with many stuff IRL so I'm sorry).
The thing went so out of control that 3rd people contacted directly about this issue about Nova's voicer being harassed AND already accused of doing an illegal bank. So my reason of being more drastic on my comment was because I felt the real reason of this thread (to actually analyze the evidence and not make this one person thing) became totally lost.
I do appreciate your help on this matter Matsukai; and I think you were also on the thread about Ariel Mermoik, which let me know about this before Adan took the bank down. And as that time and also on the other "mexican case", I do ask people who find illegal banks to act in the most mature way on this matter, and don't make a campaign of hate.
Again, sorry for my harshness on my last post.
Hope we can all continue with our activities.
