It is funny how Jean-Baptiste Kempf keeps telling us here that there is no 'VLC legal entity' but at the same time Rémi sends out messages like the above in a press release style as if they are officially coming from the 'VLC Group'.

Anyway, Apple was contacted because of a copyright infringement. As anyone who has experience with the App Store knows, their action is then to simply pull the app, inform the developer (which is Applidium in this case and NOT VLC) and then leave the matter in the hands of those parties.

As far as Apple is concerned this matter is over. Until Applidium contacts them (because they are the ones having a contract with Apple) with a good reason to allow the app back in the store.
