Just a piece...
--- Quote ---G-Mode, Jaleco, SNK Playmore and Tecmo representatives have now publicly commented to Gamasutra, and are accusing Ultracade Technologies former owner David R. Foley of piracy. These parties are now claiming that Ultracade arcade game cabinets and game packs contained many titles that were never legitimately licensed for Ultracade.

...HOLY CRAP that is a read. Somehow I think Mr. Foley's in a little over his head with this one? Dunno.... :dunno
Ginsu Victim:
Still reading....
This is good stuff. Thanks, man.
Malenko:
I'll refrain from any sort of insightful comment, since he'll just ---smurfette--- and moan until the post is deleted.
I hope he gets what he deserves.
shardian:
That was an interesting read. Wow. That's all I have to say on that. Foley can defend himself if he wants. It should be a simple matter to supply legal documentation of his licensing agreements. There would be paper trails, money trails, etc.
The most interesting part of the article deals with the copyright applications for Unversal games, such as Mr. Do!. Very, very interesting....
isucamper:
There has to be more to this story. Why would anyone think they could get away with that?
Also: This could have bad reprecussions for communities like the one we have here. Have copywrites of old arcade ROMs ever been in the legal limelight like this? A lot of people justify their MAME cabinets by saying "Those companies don't care about those old games from the 80s and 90s." Well, here we've got 4 companies on record saying they do care.
