"and have invested millions of dollars creating a
market for retro games"

why thank you sir, I as many others would have had no intrest if it wasnt for your company...(which I had never heard of before 10 minutes ago).

so he's bought the licences to games that are in reality only viable in the public domain and not commercial market.

he claims that its people benefiting from others hard work.. that he's bought the rights too... hello ?

what I find hard to beleive is that no-one had trademarked the "MAME" name before.

for "Software Hardware Arcade Machine Emulator"..



just posed this question on that forum

Because the MAME product has been a "public domain" item previously, Software rights owners such as yourself and others, who have legitimate claim to the ROMS that are being unlawfully distributed, frequently supplied with these units, have had no principle figure head to sue for breach of copyright.

Does that mean since you are now atempting to take ownership of the MAME trademark you will be the figure head for wich copyright owners can now sue ?
since it will be your tradename product expiditing this distribution.
does this sound reasonable ?
