Well, yeah, it is copyright infringement...and I can imagine they're gonna get creamed hard for it, given that there's a lot of stuff from big companies among the MAME romsets.

Two Buck Chuck, the cheap wine from Aldi Nord-owned Trader Joe's that won a taste test and made French wine connoisseurs' heads explode.
More or less my perspective. Though I don't think an anarchic market is necessarily "free" - as much as I think that certain restrictions are necessary in a society to maintain the overall freedom (like, you can't just go around killing people
I tend to consider the term "libertarian" poisoned by the faux-libertarian randroids, so I don't call myself such a thing.
