My statement is false if you have Mame and only the Roms that are copies of the PCB boards that are in the machines that you own.

According to your statement, you own and play all the games in Mame.  From what I understand, Mr. Foley wanted to shut down all of the companies that were packaging cabinets with Mame, or can be used with Mame with the claims that they can play all of the games.

Mr. Foley was trying to protect his investment.  He had secured the rights of cetain roms to run on his emulator.  You say you have a Mame cabinet with all the roms.  If you have 4000 pcb boards, then yes, I am wrong. 

If you don't, then you are one of the reasons why Mr. Foley wanted the trademark for Mame. 

Sorry, thought I should point this out.  Have fun with your Mame cabinet. 

I think the approach Mr. Foley is taking with the pinball emulator is great.  As many people said, it is a win/win for everybody.  I think he should of used the same approach with the Mame community.

How much abuse can that CRT take?  I know what happens when I hit the side of any TV I've owned...

David seriously got attacked because he made an attempt to take something that he had no legal right too.

I don't care how he rationalizes it to you, his goldfish or anybody else, the facts stay the same.
