==Legal controversy== In January 2004, the MPlayer website was updated with an allegation that the Danish DVD player manufacturer, [[Kiss Technology]], were marketing DVD players with [[firmware]] that included parts of MPlayer's GPL-licensed code. The implication was that Kiss was violating the GPL, since Kiss did not release its firmware under the GPL license. The response from the managing director of Kiss, Peter Wilmar Christensen, countered that the similarities between the two pieces of code indicate that the MPlayer team had in fact used code from Kiss's firmware.<ref name="2004-03">{{cite web |title=MPlayer - The Movie Player |date=2004-01-10 |url=http://mplayerhq.hu/design7/news-archive.html#kiss05 |access-date=2012-06-24}}</ref> However, the Kiss DVD player, released in 2003, used a subtitle file format that is specific to MPlayer, which was designed by an MPlayer developer in 2001.<ref name="2004-03" />
