Actually many UK companies just take the US $ price and replace the $
with a £, and I am seeing more mainland companies starting to do the
same for €... So that isn't such a strange thing!

Having said that, I am pretty sure this *is* a prank, as VLC is licensed
under GNU GPL, so anyone could fork it and make their own flavor of VLC,
which would significantly reduce the value of "VLC Pro"...
