Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark
str1der:
Not to give this toad any ideas but I wonder if he's now going to go after ACT LABS. They use MAME in the advertisment of their products. They are a little bigger fish than us I think.

Did you read my previous post? Are you being negative on purpose?

We might ask the same question as to why you didn't read any of the thread to get all the information that was given you in these few posts since your obvious disregard in your posting.
Why didn't you read any of the previous posts? Were you being obtuse on purpose?
Your comments are similar in formation to Mr. Foley. Bang out something that ignores what's said, until your points are dispatched step by step, at which point you change your tack. If you aren't willing to read the thread and instead choose to ignore the points made here, then don't feign confusion about responses to your remarks. It reeks of trolling or ignorance, but isn't a simple misunderstanding, as you seem to be trying to put it now.

If his application is successful, Mr. Foley will want the MAME dev team to continue as normal, but they won't be allowed to release binaries.

BZZZT WRONG. Trademark is a NAME!

ROTFL. He is getting a trademark. All MAME has to do is become GAME, HAME, DAME, RAME, SLAME, BAME, or, god forbid, LAME, and boom, he has zero power again.
Even if he does win, all he has is a name. He makes the community scramble for a new name, things get chaotic for a month, and boom, back in buisness under a new banner. He couldn't win the copyright with thousands of lawyers on his side. There is too much history, too many users, etc.
Wow, talk about zero understanding of the underlying legal issues. You don't even know the difference between Trademark and Copyright. I can't believe anyone could take your drivel serious after that.

If you still don't understand what is going on, it is pretty crazy if you think about it.
Let's say I wrote a software CD player a few years ago.
