So go file a lawsuit already.

Loss of sales.
KevSteele:
I just don't see the loss of sales to anyone involved amounting to enough to be worth going to court over (even adding everyone who got auctions yanked into a class-action suit)
As much as I'd love to see Foley have to face some consequences to his illegal grab of MAME and the MAME logo, I just don't see it happening. Going to court in this case just doesn't make good business sense (it'll cost far more than you could ever hope to recover)

Crazy Cooter:
It's a civil proceeding. You don't have to have a lawyer.
This is pretty cut-n-dry. If you have sales records, you have a case. It's just a matter of finding out if you can do it in your state or his. "Crimes" via the internet I believe are filed where the offense occured, not where they originated. I think this too was passed just for cases like this. Being across state lines makes it a bigger deal.
I know for judgements regarding late payments after you quit a job they give 150% of the wage to "penalize" the offender (in MN). I don't know how it works for cases like this. I've sat with several lawyers in my time and they always will "hear your case" and give you an idea if they should help you or if you could do it yourself. I'm only afraid of them when they're not sitting at my table. ;)

As much as I hate to admit it, UC's pinball controller looks pretty cool:
