Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark
<< < (22/154) > >>
KevSteele:
You know, the funny thing is that if he hadn't started this salvo of threatening letters and just waited until the Trademark was approved, we'd all be up the creek.

It's only the fact that his application was discovered while it's still pending that we have as much of a chance as we do of getting it thrown out...

Just to play devils' advocate, his point is that you can't do it legally. To play 4,000 games you would have to break the law. While I don't agree with his actions, I think the point is valid.

Is it really wrong to advertise a cab that says it can play 4000 games, when it really can legally? What if you personally own a bunch of boards of various games? Don't ya legally own the game and can use it comercially or otherwise in a cab you built? And if this guy is just trying to stamp out piratcy of games, then why does he keep hitting up printers of marquees for cash? This guy is what we call a "jag-off" here in Chicago and is obviously talking out of his --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules--.

I call what he tried on Emdkay extortion.
Daniel270:
It's a noble idea to stamp out piracy and such.... but a VERY POOR execution of that idea....

Might as well stamp out the console market while he's at it... might help boost his sales ::)
