Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark
menace:
This is probably the most short sited venture I've ever seen. First there is no way the guy can get a patent on others work--even a modicum of back ground work will confirm that and secondly, he has just now made it plainly obvious that he is a sleaze-oid trying to make money from others work, and will be referred to as such in all mame and arcade circles--How far do you think ultimarc or oscar controls would have got had they gone this route?
This guy so needs an --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- kicking--if he's going to ebay and stopping legitimate auctions or crying foul to emdkay and others, I would hope that something could be done about that. Ideas?
Paul Olson:
I don't know. I put my cab up on ebay to see if I get a response from them. ($3000 shipping so I don't accidentally lose it ;D)
OT: Did I spell response right? This, and responce both pass the spell checker ???
Fat_Trucker:
I'm no lawyer but I thought if an individual tries to obtain a royalty from someone's work in full recognition of the fact that they hold no rights to that work then that individual can file for damages. Surely it constitutes fraud?.
Could be wrong though.
Lilwolf:
I don't like how hes doing it...
