Discussion: Ultracade and the Mame Trademark

<< < (78/154) > >>

Gunstar Hero:
If MAME were a "NEW" invention, fine... but...

MAME predates Ultracade.

How can poor poor Mr. Ultracade have to take these drastic measures to "defend himself and his income" from something that had existed before he even founded his business?

 :P

It looks as though I have created a talking point. LOL

DrewKaree:
Indeed, APF, you have.  I'm just surprised at you.  I found it SO useful and descriptive, I took the time to do the following:

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

Attempts to circumvent my trademark by selective choosing of the words therein will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and with the backing of ul-tra-kade and its proprietors, unless they lose so much business from this endeavor that they can't afford a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. 

 ;D  Oh....cease-and-desist, yada yada yada and whatnot  ;)

NOOOOO.  Many ebay sellers are smart.  They will tell you were to get LEGAL roms and other games that could be played with arcade controls.

Fat_Trucker:
Yup. Was just trying to make the point that 'technically' its legal but in real terms it does damage the potential for legitimate vendors to compete.

I just think a more responsible attitude to the way things are advertised now will leave less manouvering room for other people like Mr Foley to try to take the moral high ground and attack the hobby in future.

At the end of the day I'm not saying people shouldn't sell the product, just perhaps that products should be described a little more creatively without alluding to the availability of unlicensed software.

After all, if this situation was already the case, Mr Foley wouldn't have been able to provide any justification for having competitors pulled from ebay and likely would have failed in efforts to get their products removed.
