So wait a minute, if they abandoned their attempts to trademark MAME, what the hell are their grounds?  How is DreamArcades "unfair"?

(Grrr, what a bunch of a-holes.)

Everyone calm down.  We won't know anything until we can actually READ the C&D for ourselves.

You are simply providing an assembled structure within which people can house PCs, video game consoles, or arcade parts from older machines. I'm guessing if you were to stop offering the games with the cabinets they wouldn't have a leg to stand on -- that could be the only issue where it becomes hazy legally (depending on whether you aquired the rights to distribute them), but even that is nonsense.

But the games dreamarcades is selling are legal.  Starroms are legal.  So are PC remakes.

I'd definately say you have to get a lawyer.  But Ultracade shouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Did Ultracade cease and desist Hanaho?  Hanaho has a couple of PC based cabinets.
