iPhone Techie

Well guys, I have told you about this back in October of 2010 and now the great VLC Media Player is gone from the AppStore for good. I hope you have downloaded a copy of it before it was pulled from the AppStore, if not you’re in luck because I have copies of this app so you can still get it right here at iPhoneTechie.

VLC, the very popular media player for Windows, Mac and Linux which was ported to the Apple iPad in September and also to the iPhone in October, but now it is gone from the App Store because of of copyright infringement.

Apple has been sent a formal notification of copyright infringement regarding the way VLC for iOS is distributed in the App Store to the developers back in October of 2010.

This week, Apple has removed VLC from the App Store after receiving a formal notification of copyright infringement from VLC developers.

The notification of infringement was filed because Apple’s iTunes Terms and Conditions don’t allow users to install both free and paid apps on more than 5 devices. This goes against the original GNU license VLC’s code is based on.

VLC developer Rémi Denis-Courmont said, “At last, Apple has removed VLC media player from its application store. Thus the incompatibility between the GNU General Public License and the AppStore terms of use is resolved – the hard way. I am not going to pity the owners of iDevices, and not even the MobileVLC developers who doubtless wasted a lot of their time. This end should not have come to a surprise to anyone.”
