anyone know what UK law is on this?
Lilwolf:
btw, I believe they are talking about the entire item.  There are clauses about replacements being available, but not repairs. 

Because with that....  The parallel port doggles (part of what this law was really for) you could fix by taking it apart and replacing thatever part is changed.  The level of fix for some seems like impossibilities to others.  Heck, look at pinball repairs.  They often get to board level repairs.  Where computers are board level repairs.  Where other components (harddrives) are replacement only. 

So I thought the law was specific to replacements by authorized dealers.  IE, if the companies under... or they don't fix it... its fair game.

The UK Law would only be able to enforce the copyright and/or patents if they had be registered internationally. I fairly sure you can assume they would be.

Anyway, I personally HATE this whole idea of building a money making cab using Star-Roms or MAME and Roms sourced "elsewhere".

It's sad, but i suspect inevitable, that this happens in any walk of life related to something akin to this hobby. Still, I'd love to see the business plan the makes you money from this enterprise!
