From the horse's mouth.

I don't care what you think of illegal roms, of piracy, of crappy mame cabinets.

He was willing to steal from other people in his crusade.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

This shows exactly what my point is...

--- Quote ---Like most things that are spread by rumor, the facts about me, UltraCade Technologies, and the M.A.M.E. emulation system are quite distorted. I will try and educate anyone who cares to listen about the reality of our marketplace and what we are doing and what we are not. Simply put, we are making an effort to stamp out the commercial sales of M.A.M.E. based systems that advertise the ability to play thousands of games while relying on the customer to obtain the ROMs which can not legally be obtained. What we are not doing is trying to claim ownership of the M.A.M.E. open source emulator or sue its authors. We are concerned about the commercial marketplace, and not the readers of the many M.A.M.E. user groups and forums.

1) He doesn't care about the end user, only money:
"We are concerned about the commercial marketplace, and not the readers of the many M.A.M.E. user groups and forums."

2) He's a liar, trademarking something claims ownership.
RayB:
So they supposedly invested time and money to develope SNK emulation BEFORE they have the rights negotiated? I think that proves right there that they're just ripping off existing emulators... No one in their right mind would spend time/money developing software they don't even know if they can sell!
