I agree, this is totally hypocritical logic. It's kindof like kaaza suing kazaa light over copyright infringement. MAMEdevs take this "holyier than thou" additude by saying it's not right to release games on hardware which is still being used, yet in truth, it's not right to release ANY game in MAME no matter how old it is. I still see galaga machines in arcades, so why doesn't MAME remove galaga??? It's all just silly MAME politics to me....some guy (probably Nicola) said that three years is the cut-off date. Well, I ask you, how did he come up with that three year number? Did he somehow rewrite copyright law in his head and deem three years the correct number of years before you can violate copyright law? Please. _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
