ps: i am unemployed and if i could sit around selling dvds of copyrighted material on ebay for $10 an hour i would do it all day long!  if its ok for him to do it then it should be ok for everyone, and it is not, thats why it needed to be flagged.

You know, part of me wonders if the guy just doesn't understand what "Public Domain" really means. That certainly doesn't excuse him, though.

It's wrong cuz it's wrong :angry:, don't think about it or question it! 

yes selling mame roms is wrong, the issue is all the contradictions that are used to "prove"why members of the mame club are not wrong

fact is, we all mame so we're all on the same field.  We're not the ones selling these dvds so no need to get hot headed about this whole issue ;).  Youth often bring innovation and change, so maybe this is a sign that the mame and cab scene is changing.  Some of us see an issue  with all these contradictions  (when one claims a higher moral when the hobby requires breaking the law, selling drawing attention to the hobbie vs arcade cabs on youtube and fancy front ends) and enjoy having debates over the issue.  But the end, I think we all agree that the guy on ebay was misleading ebay and the buyer, some just don't care as much.

If you're going to report them fine, just do some self reflections before going on that self righteous speech about how illegal it is and how sick it makes ya. It's fine to post this and alert the community so those who wish to report him can, but be open to talking about it.

:dunno

Absolutely -- there are so many more people doing this now than ever before ... oh wait, hasn't the number of ROM burners has actually declined pretty significantly.  :dizzy:

If by rom burners you meant those who sell rom, that's not who I meant.. I'm referring  to new people who are getting into the hobby of cab building and emulation. Those of us who like street fighter and don't despise fighters ;). It was referring ito an earlier comment where someone stated that these conversations always happen, the newbz come in and get all the old fogies worked up, these newbz may be the next generation of cab builders who may have more of an interest in debating the morality issues within mame-ing.  Like said earlier, the law part of it is pretty clear for selling roms and for downloading/uploading roms you don't own.

either way, we all love us some emulation, which is what brings us together :cheers:
