Question about legalities of Roms

On the other hand, ROM sites are pretty hard to find, aren't they? Especially american ones. Most of them tend to be based out of bass-ackward countries with no regard for copyright law. What does that tell you? It means that companies and the SPA (software piracy association) ARE actively seeking to close down such sites where they can.

hmmm, good point. my favourite one is in france although i wouldnt say its a backwards country (dartful dodger might think differently ;) ). but i often see people SELLING them on CD's on ebay which is just wrong. it's against the spirit of MAME and against the law. it would be akin to blatantly selling pirated music cd's on ebay...
just had a thought. just googled 'mame' with 'indonesia'. they are notorious for pirated music and movies. some sites popped up but my high-school indonesian is all but gone. salamat pagi! & siappa namma mu? that's about all i remember...

http://www.starroms.com/
However you would want to wait to purchase them until you have made the sale and purchase them in your buyers name...I believe they are non-transferable.

Does anyone know if they really have a licence to distribute the roms?
