mediaplayer.de.com makes money with VLC Player

Postby Daugs » 03 Jul 2008 20:31

Hello Guys,

a few seconds ago, I found a site randomly which make money with the VLC Player.. (http://www.mediaplayer.de.com) If you want to download it there, you must register - and this is the trap.. You have to pay 8 € per month and that for 2 years advance! All about 192 €!! :shock:

A far as I know is VLC freeware.. and this is only the try from frivolous company with mainseat in Great Britain to make money and rip someone..

I do not think that the developers have agreed to this here... What do you say to that? :roll:

VLC is free software (free as in free speech), not freeware (free as in free beer).

If arguably morally wrong, selling VLC is legal, so long as there will be clueless enough people to buy.
