I'd disagree with this - if someone is building a MAME cab and starts searching for MAME-compatible stuff, they're going to search on "MAME". I know I get an awful lot of search traffic on my site that has "MAME" in the search string...

People are using "MAME" to sell all kinds of stuff, legal and illegal, and it's just going to have to stop, period. You can say "compatible with MAME(tm)" or "works with MAME(tm)" once in your ad -- that's fair use. But you can't put MAME in the title, you can't name your product after MAME, and you can't use MAME to sell anything illegal. Respond to the address listed in the takedown notice and ask for a full list of rules surrounding the use of the name MAME in auctions.

I like this example the best: should you be able to list an auction with "L@@K! Paper cups! Coca-Cola! Pepsi!"? No -- you're using the trademarked names to sell your non-endorsed, tangentially-related item. Same goes for MAME.

That said, they've said you can still say "compatible with MAME(tm)" in the description, so just seach for "encoder MAME" and check the "Search Title and Description" box on FleaBay.

Someone planning to build a MAME cab should at least RTFM or keep up with this board or the www.mame.net board enough to know what the new license requirements are.

I agree that they should, but know that they don't.  I was well into planning my cabinet before I got onto the message boards here.  I was mainly reading the project web pages from the projects listed under Examples.  I think this board is a little intimidating at first.  Also, the mame.net website (and mameworld.net) is an unnavigable labyrinth to me.  I know there is a ton of stuff on there that I can find links to through Google searches, but have no idea how to access from the main page.  I depend on this site solely for my MAME information.

Having said that, if someone can tell me how to better navigate the main MAME sites, I will happily do so.

True, but if you download MAME, you download the license.  The newer versions say "Be sure to check out the new changed license" and provide a link before you download MAME!!!
