Mame cab on Ebay .... is this legal?

(ebay link removed by saint as it appears to contain copyrighted material) -- please see http://mamedev.org/ebay.html for MAME's position on ebay auctions.
horseboy:
Nope. He said mame is installed. That is a no-no.
SavannahLion:
So you can say it's a cabinet for MAME but you can't say it's a cabinet with MAME installed?
Where does MAME get the money to protect their name?
horseboy:
I doubt it takes much money for the amount of actual protection they get. They own the name, and have rules for it. They can just report an auction to Ebay, and Ebay will shut it down.
I figure Ebay is pretty much the only place they get any kind of protection. People sell illegal mame cabs all the time.
TOK:
I believe the builder of that machine is a member here. I remember seeing pics of it, and it's in the examples page.
