thomas_surles:
There is a seller on ebay that is actually selling (or trying to sell) and Emulator and roms pack on ebay. Where is the flag button on ebay?
Howard_Casto:
You know, now that mame is officially open-source, I wonder legally what one can do in this situation?

Noble White Knight, go punch "arcade" into the Google Play store and begin your holy crusade.

ark_ader:
I would get in contact with Dave Foley, and he will get Ebay to shut the seller down.  Since Dave apparently created Mame, and was tragically denied the copyright to the multi game enulator, his legacy lives on forever as being a decent and honest individual of the video game industry.

I think you can contact him via a prison in Nevada.  Dave Foley knows all about the technical complexities of selling games on Ebay.  I am sure he will revel at the chance to recreate his glory days, by assisting you.
JDFan:
If it is like most of those listed on Ebay - they are selling the USB drive or HDD with the MAME setup ( It's now open source so is able to be installed on hardware and sold ) and if you look in the details of the listing it will usually state ( " PER EBAY RULES THESE DRIVE CONTAIN NO ROMS, EMULATORS, VIDEO, SOFTWARE, OR APPLICATIONS. " ) So they do not actually include any of those files just give info on how to obtain them with the sale - so pretty much just selling freely available information along with empty hardware to use to place it on.
