: This is from a thread over on the Mame homepage forums... dunno if any of you read over there ( don't know why I am... )

: Evidently someone supposedly has the rights to SNK games and is selling an emulator with them included -


: It would be interesting to see if "Mega Master 1.0" is anything like Mame and if the Mame people can do a damn thing about it since they're not in the same country...

1) it's probably not MAME.

2) even if it were, it would be very difficult to prove, and

3) software piracy isn't a criminal offense in the USA; enforcement is costly because the police won't be involved until after you get a court order.

4) the licence agreement with mame is so loosely worded that any decent attorney could defeat it with only his paralegal.
