Copyright law is something entirely different than the "honor among thieves" that goes on in the emulation community. BTW, I'm not calling anyone a "thief". It is just a well-known phrase so I used it to illustrate a concept. Plus, it sounds better than "honor among copyright violators". |

It's not worth getting into the old MAME/rom legality issue; we all know where it stands, or should anyway. It's not uncommon; and not just with emulators. At computer fairs in the UK the organisers supposedly actively regulate the content of the markets, but every time I go, it's chipped cable boxes, pirated software (rows and rows of stalls), blatantly stolen goods and the one at Dunstall race course in Wolverhampton usually has a dude there who chips consoles way before anyone thinks they can be cracked. He was doing 360's with the anti-online-detection chips before the console was even available in the UK, let alone the chips available globally. It was here I first played the PS3 and several had been obtained by admittedly dodgy means for resale. |

Actually .. now that I think about it, did you get any permission from the people in the attached pic to reprint them here? If not, that's illegal you know ... they could sue you. |

At worst the venue organizers may hold a claim since the venue isn't technically "public" but rather "private". |
