I seriously doubt Tilt knows it has an illegal arcade cabinet. I'm sure they purchased it thinking it was legal just like the other cabinets there.

On a side note, I find it more interesting how many people were in that arcade. The last few times I saw my mall's arcade there wasn't more than 3 people in it and one of them was the worker.

I would be absolutely stunned, totally floored, if an arcade operator -- particularly one the size of Tilt -- wasn't 100% fully aware of the licensing issues with these boards. No way in hell they don't know.

That is if they are familiar with the emulator scene. Unless they browse online a little more than casually, there is a chance they could be ignorant to this fact. If it wasn't for this forum (and mame's), I would have assumed they had a license for those games...and I'm sure they present their product as such to the purchaser for Tilt. I'm just speculating....I have absolutely no idea.
