Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark

OH, and Nintendo doesn't leave room for making backups. When you buy one of their products, there is a note in the manual or on another piece of paper saying that their media won't go bad, and you don't have the right to back the software up. I'm sure somewhere else on the site it mentions that, but I've read it a number of times after buying GBA carts.

These points were made clearly on this thread:

But he is either being hard headed or willfully ignorant.  Either way, he is trolling at this point.

Another of Foley's "businesses".  Do a whois lookup and you'll see.  Anyone ever see the inside of an Arcade Legends or Ultracade?  I wonder...

lloydcom:
I just trademarked "lloydcom TM".  So don't use it anymore.  Get the picture?  None of us here support people selling roms on ebay, and none of us here support Foley accusing his competitors of doing so.  He is taking away their business with bogus accusations, so I don't give a rats ass about what happens to him.  His employees should all quit and start their own legitimate company.

RetroJames:
All I have changed the title of the thread as follows:

Re-Edit by 1hookedspacecadet: As the thread was started by me, I would prefer to keep the title as a general heading rather than a call to arms.  We do not know all of the relevant facts yet and I would rather see how this plays out before appearing to call for a boycott.  Thanks.

We have one small problem to this whole Mr. Foley issue who is attempting to trademark MAME.

Clearly you haven't read this thread, or as was stated, are being willfully ignorant and are now just trolling (although your disclaimer that you aren't affiliated with ul-tra-kade (don't wanna get sued for using his trademarked name ::) ) seems a bit fishy after reading your letter)

Your point is irrelevant.  It has NOTHING to do with the discussion, and isn't even relevant enough to warrant consideration within the discussion.  Again, had you read the comments and thread, you'd have known that, or are simply being willfully ignorant and are now just trolling.

He is trying to make a point here, which we are all sadly missing.  MAME roms are not free.  They never were (except those who donated) and we have individuals who are selling arcade cabs with the MAME theme of playing them all.


--- End quote ---

And in making your point, you again demonstrate your willful ignorance and inability to distinguish between the argument at hand, and what's actually happening. 

Mame roms are not free
Individuals are selling cabs with the mame theme.

Those two things have nothing to do with this discussion, EXCEPT to extort money from companies who have nothing to do with roms (emdkay), AND to unfairly shut down auctions of the competition who have nothing to do with roms (Dream Arcades)

The point YOU are sadly missing (although I suspect it's your CHOOSING to miss it) is that this entire fiasco has nothing to do with MAME, and everything to do with Mr Foley attempting to get himself as much publicity as possible, and in the process, as much money in as many ways as possible.


--- Quote ---I also think at the end of all this ROM question of legality, we will see Mr. Foley folding up operation of his business, which is a shame.  When was it wrong to play by the rules and sell legal product?  When did that happen?
--- End quote ---

When did the "rules" state you can trademark something that you had absolutely NOTHING to do with, and has been out there for years?  When did THAT happen? 

While you are entitled to your opinion, choosing to ignore the main points of this debate have done nothing to help your case, and will have painted you, in the eyes of many, as obtuse, thereby making it easier to dismiss your strange opinion and inability to distinguish the crux of the matter.

Trademarking MAME has absolutely nothing to do with his business - and YOU know it!
