Nope.

In your example above, the red text is true, blue text is false.  I trust myself and friends, I don't know my customers from a hole in the wall.  Is he a copyright lawyer?  A Wlliams exec?  

Selling ROMs or even appearing to sell ROMs is a much worse offense than posessing them for personal use.

All IMHO of course.

Is there anyone here who can say that every rom they have is dumped from their own original boards? Hmmmm

Nope can't say I own all the original boards.  :(

I doubt it.  Maybe a few hard-core folks.

I plan on buying all of the StarRoms-available ROMS that I play.  I wish that they would strike deals with the other vendors, because I really want my cabinet to be 100% licensed.  I only play 20 games regularly.  If I could legally and reasonably own the software ROMs (I don't mean by buying boards for 15-70$) I would gladly pay for the right.  Just as the music industry is missing out, I think that the arcade manufacturers are missing out on a small but steady revenue stream by not selling the old ROMs.



Rawker:

funny thing is most people who post that it's illegal probably have a coin door and keep the money after people play on their cabinets.  :P
