MAMEDev's pull auctions without MAME
RayB:
You all realize that a TM will not appear in the USPTO... only (R) marks.
Also, you all realize, you can have the same trademark but be in a different market, and co-exist legally, right? ie: Apple the record label and Apple the computer company.

I will be removing all links on the www.mameroom.com website the point to mame development sites such as
mameworld.com
mamedev.com
mame.net
I will only display links to related building and information sites such as:
arcadecontrols.com
retroblast.com
I know what is coming next...what about the links that point to a site that is doing something with Mame?
A. I am not a judge, nor do I want to pretend that I know exactly who's violating what...so as long as it remains unchecked or unpersued, those links will remain. The minute I find that one of my links points to a site that has been found guilty of committing a crime, that link is gone too.

There's been like ten posts since I started this but I'm posting anyway.

This maybe?

I can't see the difference in any of this stuff in the big picture. Why are you giving cyberpunk a hard time and not Andy and Randy? From what I can see if MAMEdev could try to go after them they would. It seems that they are mad that people have made money on emulation at all. *wrong*
In my eyes they all have businesses based on emulation in general. Without the free exchange of ROMS and willingness for customers to pirate the games, I don't think any of these businesses would exist.
Having said that, I don't quite get what the expectations of MAMEdev was when they released all this. They give the documentation angle, but I've never bought it. Why release it in the way that it is? What is documentation without the ability to play the games? Who are they documenting this for anyway?
My problem is how hypocritical all this is.
as a completely different theory.
Is it possible that they have been given advice to be as aggressive as possible to document an attempt to keep the project "about documentation". It seems that they are truly at risk of huge lawsuits. Do they really think they can win a lawsuit against Cyberpunk or do they just feel they need to file it anyway. Or at least document that they explored the opportunity.

I just want it to be made clear so there isn't any negative publicity brought about by my posts...
Mamedevs never brought up lawsuit...it was the lack of response that kicked me into defense mode. Being fueled mostly by the community in this forum...I was feed the idea that my company name was the reason for the initial ebay attacks. After reading multiple posts on how legitimate ebay items and users were being suspended...I didn't want to get caught with my pants down.
Being that I work at a lawfirm, I simply was listening the free advise (not counsel) of one of our experts.
As the owner of serveral copyrights and tradmarks myself. I understand where mamedev may be coming from...but disaprove of the castopo tactics. They simply had to ask me to remove or reword my auctions. I would have been more than happy to comply.
