Wasn't he just paying someone to do the coding work? Not like he was buying mame. If I wanted someone to take the source code and do some work to it for me - I would pay them for their time. Not for mame.

Am I understanding how this went down?

That's the same kind of rationalization that people make when they say they''re paying for the DVDs and the burning process, but not the roms on the discs.   He was looking to buy a compiled version of MAME.   It all worked out in the end, but I agree with Soap et al, it was originally kind of dicey.  He was offering money for somebody to send him a version of MAME.   If you think that's kosher, then why not set up a website where you offer compiled versions of mame for $10 a pop.   I doubt the MAME devs (or saint) would support that kind of endeavor.
