However, in the process of 'improving' the software, there were one or two issues added that did not exist in the original, though they rarely were reported. They claimed the legal software causes problems even to legitimate users, though some of these issues were later addressed by Yamaha. This software was released by Team Peaceout, and was cracked to remove all security features and copy protection so that it could be used infinitely without having to activate it. Later cracked versions of the VOCALOID3 and 4 software have been found to store data in different areas of the Windows Registrytheoretically allowing it to coexist with legal versions. This lead to a crack version being made available among pirating groups.
