The Problem With Partners: Fake VisualHub Update Aims To Make Bank On Unsupported Software

Screen Shot 2011-08-16 at 9.43.26 AMTyler Loch is the creator of VisualHub, one of the best (and funniest) video converters for OS X. He shut down development a few years ago and left the app to linger and then shut it down completely, forcing folks to scour the Internet for copies. A few OS X versions came and went and the program still worked but a Lion killed the app for users fairly completely.I'm a former VisualHub customer and must have bought it through Tyler's reseller, Kagi, when it was still available. Today I received an email informing me that I could update VisualHub to work with Lion for a mere $5. Excited that the app was supported again, I soon discovered that Tyler was not part of this update and that Kagi had essentially spammed the VisualHub list in order to wring a little more cash out of the product.
