I just came accross this posting of yours: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc/2011-January/019796.html http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc/2011-January/01979... Where you say: "No. Apple decided to remove VLC from the AppStore by themselves." You are either blatantly lying or you have no idea what actually happened. Apple responded to a copyright infringement notification like they always do: they removed the app from sale. This is the direct action of your colleague in the VLC project, Rémi Denis-Courmont. Stop blaming Apple for removing the app. YOU GUYS, the VLC project, are the ones who are playing this game.

I'd hope it's a simple misunderstanding, but my gut tells me that this was planned -- I don't see how the VideoLAN guys can suddenly forget that one of their own demanded removal of the application and then vehemently say "we had nothing to do with it!" This stuff is all public...it makes no sense, honestly.

  It is not all public. Maybe Remi should make all his emails to Apple public. That will probably explain some things.

First, I still don't understand why you are so aggressive, once again, against me. Then, again, you keep using "YOU GUYS" or "VLC project", which are no people or legal entities, and don't mean anything. Then, the removal was done by Apple, and not by Applidium nor anyone else. A complaint was filled by a copyright holder of some code on VLC. He represent himself and has the right to complain. It doesn't mean that his complaint is right, like any complaint. But, the problem is that Apple has refused to explain the term of service and to help us finding a solution, and after being mute for more than 2,5 month, remove it without warning nor explanation. So, yes, "Apple decided to remove VLC from the AppStore by themselves", even if you don't like it.
