The Story of VLC: Software That Rejected the MarketIn an era dominated by subscription fees, aggressive data mining, and platform lock-ins, one tool stands out as a relic of a cleaner, better internet: VLC Media Player. What began as a humble student project in France—designed simply to stream video across a university dorm network—eventually evolved into a global utility used by over 3 billion people. Yet despite its massive reach, VLC never sold ads, never tracked user data, and never charged a single rupee.This video essay explores the incredible rise of the little orange cone and the open-source philosophy that made it unassailable. We break down the legal brilliance of the GPL license that shielded VLC from corporate takeovers, the stubborn engineering that allowed volunteer developers to build a codec engine that "plays everything," and how the project survived platform bans from Apple to erroneous blocks in India.VLC didn't conquer the digital age by competing in the modern software market—it won by rejecting the rules of that market entirely. Watch the full breakdown to discover how a non-profit volunteer movement built one of the most important, resilient utilities in technology history.

Romans 6:3-4 (NLT) Have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in BAPTISM, we joined Him in His death? For we died and were buried with Christ by BAPTISM. And JUST AS Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, NOW WE ALSO MAY LIVE NEW LIVES. Just like Jesus was raised, so are we, called to live life like Him, and it all starts with each of us embracing our NEW CREATION. Baptism is this beautiful acknowledgment of The Father, The Son, Holy Spirit, and YOU
John 1:1 (NKJV) “In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.” Remember, THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD Jesus is the WILL OF GOD on display in a human, born of the Spirit. So when we FOLLOW Jesus through the scriptures, He's without question showing us what the Father's will is. “If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father”
When it comes to following Jesus, more specifically concerning our topic, the first thing any disciple has to get settled is the reality that God's word is exactly that: GOD SPEAKING TO HIS CREATION. Which means that if we're ever going to get to the place where we minister healing like Jesus did, this is foundational. THE WORD OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD
REVELATION CHANGES WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU SEE GOD AS YOUR SOURCE, YOU SEE MONEY DIFFERENTLY

Let's start with what Jesus told us about tithing. Remember, Jesus is the One who told us, “Give to Caesar things that are Caesar's and GIVE TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD'S.” Leviticus 27:30 (NKJV) “ALL THE TITHE of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, IS THE LORD'S. It is HOLY to the Lord.” Listen to what Jesus said: “Give to God the things that are God's.”
À l'occasion de cette rediffusion, nous vous proposons de revenir sur notre échange avec Jean-Baptiste Kempf, co-créateur du logiciel VLC, figure incontournable de l'open source, et aujourd'hui à l'origine du projet Kyber.
You've heard me use this phrase so many times, “Until you see it, you don't,” because by design God created His word to be a living, continually progressive reality that becomes real to each of His children according to their own pace. Remember, Jesus told us, “With the measure you use it, it'll be measured back to you.” As a matter of fact the Lord told us that as we make ourselves available to Him through His word, our minds become renewed so that we can prove what is the perfect will of God in our own lives.
1 John 2:3-6 (NKJV) Now BY THIS we know that we know Him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 4, He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5, But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6, He who says he ABIDES in Him ought himself also to walk JUST AS HE WALKED. Knowing about Jesus is in no way the same as knowing Him.

When it comes to following Jesus, there are things He put in motion specifically designed for He our new covenant. And possibly the key component of the new covenant is the fact that it requires a believer for it to actually work. Here's something else to keep in mind, when it comes to our new covenant, as one of His children, one of His disciples, we don't have to talk God into doing something that He's already established in Jesus. Something He's already put in motion.

1 John 5:11-13 (NIRV) Here is what God says about the Son. God has given us ETERNAL LIFE. And this life is found in his Son. Whoever BELONGS to the Son has life. 12, Whoever doesn't belong to the Son of God doesn't have life. 13, I'm writing these things to you who BELIEVE IN THE NAME of the Son of God. I'm writing so you will know that you have eternal life. As one of the Lord's Eternal Witnesses, according to His Word, there's only one way to ETERNAL LIFE. At the end of the day, it always comes back to believing. Absolutely everything about our new lives is built to function one way, by faith.
John 10:27, Jesus said, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, and I KNOW THEM, and THEY FOLLOW ME. Understand, following Jesus is a reality every disciple has to grow in. And make no mistake, it'll never happen on accident.
If God's word is a lamp unto our feet? A light for our path? If His word truth? Exactly what does His word teach us when we follow Jesus? When you follow Jesus through the scriptures, what do you see? Acts 1:1 (NKJV) The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that JESUS BEGAN both to do and teach. Jesus began to do and teach. The book of Acts is still unfolding.

1 John 5, He who BELIEVES in the Son of God has THE WITNESS in himself; and this is THE WITNESS, that God has given us ETERNAL LIFE, through His Son Jesus. Here's the thing: according to God's Word, there's only one way to ETERNAL LIFE; you have to believe in something very specific and do something very specific.
1 John 5, He who BELIEVES in the Son of God has THE WITNESS in himself; and this is THE WITNESS, that God has given us ETERNAL LIFE, through His Son Jesus. Here's the thing, according to God's Word, there's only one way to ETERNAL LIFE, you have to believe something very specific and do something very specific.
1 John 5, He who BELIEVES in the Son of God has THE WITNESS in himself; and this is THE WITNESS, that God has given us ETERNAL LIFE, through His Son Jesus. The apostle John gives us the revelation of God's Word being living spiritual reality. And by design, because of free will, the things of our eternal world all hinge on our BELIEVING what His Word reveals to each of us. It's only through His word that we get glimpses of ETERNITY.
John 10:25-27 (NKJV) Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. 26, But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, and I KNOW THEM, and THEY FOLLOW ME.”
Romans 10:13-17 (NKJV) Whoever CALLS on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14, How then shall they CALL on Him in whom they have not BELIEVED? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not HEARD? And how shall they hear without a PREACHER? 15, And how shall they preach unless they are SENT… 17, So then FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Think about it, if our life is hidden in Him, if the fullness of God lives in us, if He took our infirmities, bore our sickness, since He's already established Himself as the Lord who heals, how are we supposed to respond? What's that supposed to look like?
In John's gospel, Jesus said, I am THE WAY, and no one comes to the FATHER except through Me. If you've seen Me you've seen the FATHER. Believe Me, I am in the FATHER and the FATHER is in Me. And I pray for those who will believe in Me, that they all may be one, as You, FATHER, are in Me, and I in You; THAT THEY MAY HE ONE IN US, that the world may believe that You sent Me. Possibly one of the greatest revelations a believer can comprehend is, “that they may be one in Us” Make no mistake, the “In Christ” life, at the end of the day is THE ETERNAL WITNESS, commissioned by the Master Himself. After all, according to Revelation 3, These things says THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS, the Beginning of the creation of God.

Spiritual realities are voice-activated. “Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth.” “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” so without question, right believing will produces right speaking. But since we are spiritual people, according to this passage, right speaking can absolutely influence our believing.
Remember, “God is the Holy One, who inhabits eternity.” Our prayer with this talk is that we allow the apostle John's revelation to give us a fresh, BORN-AGAIN, eternal perspective. You've gotta wrap your head around this, right now, regardless of your beliefs, you are an eternal being.
He who BELIEVES in the Son of God has THE WITNESS in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the TESTIMONY that God has given of His Son. 1 John 5:10-12 (NKJV) 11, And this is the TESTIMONY: that God has given us ETERNAL LIFE, and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5:10-12 (NKJV) 12, He who has the Son has LIFE; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:10-12 (NKJV)
Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, TEACHING THEM to observe all things that I HAVE COMMANDED you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. As a disciple of Jesus, for us to be effective, we've got to acknowledge GOD-ORDAINED AUTHORITY REQUIRES RESPONSIBILITY. In other words, when we fail to exercise our God-ordained authority, we basically limit God's predestined plan.
Let's start with this, Pentecost— “Feast of Weeks” celebration of the harvest, right after Passover, where the first fruit offerings were brought to the Lord. It's also when the Law was given to the children of Israel. It simply means the fiftieth. 50 days after Resurrection Sunday came Pentecost Sunday. This event was so significant that Jesus told the disciples that it was better for them if He leave so that the Holy Spirit could come. John 16:7 (AMP) “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, THE HELPER (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him, the Holy Spirit to you to be in close fellowship with you.”
Romans 4, ABRAHAM BELIEVED in God who gives life to the dead and CALLS THOSE THINGS which do not exist as though they did; ABRAHAM BELIEVED, and became the father of nations. So NOT BEING WEAK IN FAITH, he did not consider his own body, He DID NOT WAVER AT THE PROMISE of God through unbelief, but was STRENGTHENED IN FAITH, giving glory to God, And being FULLY CONVINCED that what GOD HAD PROMISED He was also able to perform.
Embracing the reality that we are redeemed by Christ alone. He has declared us His, through His sacrifice, by His purpose and for His purpose. This is what makes baptism such a powerful testimony. And I'm telling you, this side of Heaven, baptism is one of the most Heavenly things we can do.
1 John 3:1 (NKJV) BEHOLD what manner of LOVE the Father HAS BESTOWED on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. I know this is crazy, but what if as we continue growing in His love for us, His commandments simply become part of who we are
Here's where the majority of today's Christians struggle: we don't relate AUTHORITY with RESPONSIBILITY. In other words, when we fail to exercise our God-ordained authority, we basically limit God's predestined plan.
