David Foley is a dispicable man. Nothing like eliminating the competition to sell a crappy product.

Can you file suit against Ultracade indicating they are using the "Mame" text which is a trademark of mame.net for years and years. If many people can agree that Mame was started way before Ultracade even existed, then one would believe a case could be won...

Not to sound like a nay-sayer, but I'd be surprised if eBay responded/cares without receiving a letter from a law office. In general they keep out of things & don't generally care what a small number of users say... UNLESS it's going to cost them money.

I think a better bet would be to start a thread in one of the eBay forums. A lot of non-BYOAC sellers would see it and potentially be interested in a person shutting down auctions illegitimately. Perhaps from there some kind of reaction could be elicited.

I once had an aucion shut down by a Vero member. It wasn't completely bogus (like this situation) but it wasn't right. I tried to get it cleared up but eBay basically told me that the Vero member said I used their copyright so the auction gets pulled. End of story.

I tried contacting the Vero member and got no reply.

I reposted my auction and it sold without incident.

Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that ebay doesn't give a crap about every little disagreement people have about what is and isn't right. They take the Vero complaints seriously because they don't want to be involved in a lawsuit but unless all their power sellers threaten to stop selling on eBay, they don't really care.
