BSplayer bought by CoreCodec - Will become TCMP5

http://forum.bsplayer.org/viewtopic.php?t=6426

Some highlights:

BSPlayer will now be named TCMP5 ("The Core Media Player 5").

we look forward to acquiring new competition products as soon as possible.

All users who bought a license for BSPlayer will have to buy it again, this time with extra taxes due to CoreCodec's policies.

75 Euros per year for the license?
Is this a joke?

- you have to pay again?
- extra "taxes"? is corecodec a state bureau so they can raise taxes and do "policies"?
- 75€ per year? why not 999€ per month? :D

if they wouldnt call it TCMP5 i would say thats an attempt to kill a competing player via a hostile takeover :D

I can not believe it!!! You have to pay for the license again? You bought the program once and now you have to buy it again, just because they change owners?
This is really absurd!!
I am very sorry to say that in this forum, but the only thing they (Core Codec Inc) are going to get with this is more cracks... in a way they deserve it!
Greetings! :)

Might be. I see they are still using that pathetically buggy and unsafe phpBB.

It's strange that CoreCodec gets attacked this way. Did they do anything really bad ? After all from all the main players (excluding MPC) they are the only ones supporting actively open source projects.

I think these 'script kiddies' don't care who/what they hack, only finding an easy opening (and that's why "real" hackers who do it for a challenge disrespect them). Imagine being a criminal who's disrespected by other criminals, that's the type of people here... :rolleyes: :D

isn't it a bit early for april's fools? I think we had one involving tcmp last year.. something quite similar if I recall correctly.

*Prays that it is fake*
*Prays hard*

Was a bit shocked and sad when I first saw it at Neowin (http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=294821&pid=585595552&st=15&#entry585595552).
