The Day MAME Saved My Ass
"Fortunately, [...] a SpyHunter fan [...] had extracted the sound effects himself and put up WAV files on his web page."<p>"I wanted to give the guy a game credit [...]. The publisher refused....their legal team were already writing up a cease-and-desist letter ordering him to remove the assets from his fan page."<p>Guy saves the day and instead of a cookie he gets a CnD letter.  Do things really have to work this way?<p>"But you have to defend your trademarks or they become worthless!"  Right, because the publisher would have been so much better off if those WAVs wouldn't have been out on the Internet in the first place.
