MAME.DK removed all ROMs!

Rabbit77 pointed this out to me. This is tragic!

From mame.dk:
The roms of [mame.dk] was removed 3 days ago. [mame.dk] has recieved a notice from a copyright holder forcing us to shut down our service.

We are sorry for keeping you in the dark for a few days, but we used the weekend to discuss how to handle this sad incident, trying to develop new ideas on how to provide our old service. The conclusion is unfortunatly: no rom downloads.

[mame.dk] is a hobby project, and we do not want to put our personal economy in jeopardy on this, and we do NOT want to go into legal matters. The [mame.dk] project has grown rather large lately, and despite many and generous donations, we had to throw in the banners to pay for bandwidth costs at the last release. So maybe we just got too popular.
Looks like I'm going back to Usenet.

Tragic indeed. I'm trying to download the .57 and .58 roms from someone who setup and FTP. It's slow going though.

It was only a matter of time until they found a company who still valued their copyrights. Hopefully they'll come back with all except those games.
