And you're entitled to your opinion, but I'm also entitled to mine. Mine is an opinion shared by a large percentage of mamedev's and you suggested that you respected us? > There's nothing illegal about it > (source code itself isn't illegal), Again, you missed my point. Adding 2003 games to mame puts it in the firing line. If you really want to be objective, then imagine if you were a company that was producing a game that was emulated. You'd be pissed off right? What if it was a game three years old or more & you no longer make money. You'd be pissed off as well, but would you bother suing? Less likely isn't it. Especially as you have to show that revenue was affected to win a copyright case. > However, the whole DDR argument is very much a red herring. why is it > such a big deal that people emulate DDR right now? People want this years games, DDR runs on similar hardware to system 573. By breaking the protection on any system 573 game it would open the possiblity for someone to come along and do a l337 patch that adds the DDR games too. > however, it sort of seems that you were just filling up space with rant > fodder, so I shouldn't have bitten.

I wasn't arguing, I was merely expressing my opinion.

This was never a constructive debate.
