All things related to multicast

Hi, yes, you are right.
I only dragged my cursor across the download button, and noticed it  
was an Apple server URL.
However, when you actually click on the download, you are redirected  
to the VLC servers.

I still don't think Apple would promote or link to this if it placed  
their users in an inherently illegal position.
To me it's still the free car that you have to drive legally.
What is legal use is the issue...
I still have not heard of any lawsuits against VLC, or VLC use, with  
millions of users out there.
