com) (Jun 12 2013) - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator Copyright Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team
MAME is an emulator: it reproduces, more or less faithfully, the behaviour of
several arcade machines. But hardware is useless without software, so an image of the ROMs which run on that hardware is required. Such ROMs, like any other commercial software, are copyrighted material and it is therefore illegal to use them if you don't own the original arcade machine. Needless to say, ROMs are not distributed together with MAME. Distribution of MAME together with ROM images is a violation of copyright law and should be promptly reported to the authors so that appropriate legal action can be taken.
