But Im not here to say yes or no on the subject of copyrights, or how you live your life in regards to, Or if you think its your given right. Just to point out the fact its not a good idea to sell or give away downloaded ROMS in a public venue.

The ebay take downs were from Foley and that was pot calling the kettle black while he was trying to steal the mame name. The rest is for actual games that are still available for sale. Not 30 year old games that time forgot. So quote away Jen. :lol

Whether that is actually true is open for debate, but as far as I know Ultracade's ROM licensing issues have never been challenged in court.

I was at the Playdium Store this week, and they're selling multiple versions of this right now. Each one are branded with "Licensed by Atari" and "Licensed by Taito" logos. I can't see a large chain like Playdium risking copyright infringement, so I'm guessing they're legit.

+1. It would be smart to put something out there that would be 'turnkey'. By this I mean you want to give something that people can just have fun with, not have to work to enjoy and you wont have to worry about anyone getting into any trouble for using. If you arent familiar with 60-1 projects just google 60 in 1 jamma board and you can find many people have already done this and it should t be an issue. Also the good thing about this is you can find used cabinets that can be refurbished for next to nothing.

as he said, he wants to do it the legal way, that's the whole point of the question.
the 60-in-1 boards are 100% illegal, doesn't matter if you 'won't get into trouble' for it, it's still illegal and you could, especially if it was then to be operated in a commercial setting. You probably wouldn't get into trouble for using MAME either, but it's also 100% illegal for use such situations (because for a start our license forbids it)
Morons who recommend these things as a legal solution need their heads bashing against brick walls.
