My cabinet is quite nice and I used MAME as a search.  Since all the vendors did it, it was convinent.  They could change to EMU now or one of the other suggestions.  Once it catches on it won't be a big deal.

Even better is when it goes up as an "Atari Yolk".

VMJ Team:

Well, for those defending what the mamedev team is doing...I didn't even want to mess around with their rediculous demands...they obviously didn't have their legal team write that stuff...

So I removed every instance of "mame" or "m.a.m.e." from my auctions.  It was there in the context of...supports xbox, mame, playstation, etc...keep in mind that I sell "empty" game cabinet kits.

Anyways, removed all instances of "mame" and replaced it with PC Emulators, and relisted my items.  Those where just pulled and my ebay account suspended.

I have sent an email to the address listed on the ebay vero form without a response.

Considering that "MAME" was not used anywhere in my items and there were still pulled...considering they were relisted after this thread was started...is it really a hick-up or did they just get caught going to far?  A hick-up would mean that there is a problem and it should have been corrected by now...since I have not received a response, I'm assuming that they know what they are doing.

So for anyone to say this is "just" or "fair"...open your eyes!

Technically you might have a better claim to the Mame trademark than they do. After all you (via the Mameroom name) have actually been using it in commerce.  ;D

Also apparently xgaming.com's ebay auctions are immune to the rules, because apparently they can still spam "Mame" all over their titles.
