In the long run, how much damage can Foley do?

Let's not forget Foley's reply to Kev earlier this year:
--- Quote ---"In the end, you will review our iROMs service, and talk all about it. You won't have a choice as it will have a huge impact on the community and you wont' want to be left out. I don't care if you don't review it, or even mention it, your participation will have no impact on it's success." - David R. Foley

MAME is not only a game emulator it is also a musical and a type of bonsai plant (search ebay UK), therefore if anyone wants to sell a cab and include Mame in the title in my eyes they could simply type in something like:-
Arcade cabinet for sale with links to free Mame Bonsai.
Sneaky, but I believe still legal. I bet it would still get pulled from ebay though.

Or the musical for that matter:-

Seriously though if people did that and auctions got pulled the whole Mame trademark thing would probably collapse similar to the WWF/WWE case a few years ago.

...oh.. and be careful not to MAME yourself while installing this T-Mold ;) ;D
..and NOW you CAN legally include a copy of MAME with each cab ;)

Yeah, there are 5000 odd roms and about 100-200 worth having.
