Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark
Tommy Boy:
Hey Lloyd --
My annual salary review is Monday. If the boss screws me on my bonus should I head down to the Jaguar dealership next door and steal an XJ-8 off the lot? Would that make up for it? I'd have a point, by your logic, to take what wasn't mine. I guess that would show balls ::)
Why is it so hard for Foley and his shills to understand that the rightful owners of the MAME intellectual property (including the TM) are the MAME devs. Nicola and company have absolutely NOTHING to do ROM distribution -- legal or otherwise -- NOTHING!!
So hear this...stealing the MAME trademark has NOTHING to do with Foley's argument and he's only hurting the MAME devs who are innocent bystanders in all of this.
Honestly, this shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp... ???

Meaning at the time, when say PacMan was released, an op buys the game with the boards and off he goes. Was there ever any documentation from Namco/Midway saying, you get this cabinet, this board, no repro etc etc?

This is a gray area. Until proven in court no one will really know. There's arguments that having the pcb but a backup on your PC is not legal.

Having a backup would probably not get you sued, that's the important thing.
