[vlc-devel] What to do about VLC scams?

Hello,

Mostly FR, soon EU.

If they don't modify the installer, no.

We've done that since 2 years already, and the collapse hasn't been on
the main website since a long time, because of that.

> We could even disallow FTP access to the Windows binaries if
> needed (rsync only).
Yes.

> In any case, I doubt any of those things, even combined would really

> SourceForge not to allow VLC ads...
Blackmail them with bad PR?
