YES.  People can be SUSPENDED from eBay for VeRO violations!

Another good point ... doesn't negate their legal fears or make them abusive, and I notice that a number of the auctions are already being relisted in compliance with the terms set by the MAMEdevs (I am even bidding on one ... but it's a low bid).

Thanks for making so many good points, BTW (I may not agree with your conclusions, but I think that some of the issues you mention are rather important) ... I hope that the things that you're pointing out will help make the process work better in the future.

Not sure I can say much more than I have already, so perhaps it is time for me to bow out ... or not ... we'll see ...

Cheers.

Oh lest we all be kidding ourselves, finding illegal ROMs in association with MAME is easy...yes MAMEdevs even from your beloved MAME net sight.  I know everyone hear can play our own little game of six degrees of Kevin Bacon, but it would be the 2 degrees of Illegal Roms...yep you might not have them on your sight, but pages you are linked to have links that provide illegal ROMs.  If you are worried about anything, I would be worried about that.

Wrong.  Trademarks are applied for in specific categories.  Thyey applied in the software category, not in the wearable goods category.  Selling T-shirts isn't going to help.

Like I said before, several years ago Hanaho  had an agreement to resell mame. 
Anyone who has one of those CD's has purchased MAME.



RayB:

I'd like to offer another viewpoint: Associating MAME with keyboards encoders or other such devices is BENEFICIAL to MAME. YES, beneficial.

Let's say Ultimarc makes the decision... they can either promote their keyboard encoder as being compatible with MAME or Vantage. Hmmm, let's say they choose Vantage. OH all of a sudden Vantage is getting a boost in popularity thanks to Ultimarc. Don't shoot a gift horse...
