Viable reasons?
Do you really need to have all those ROMs? Why?
I consider myself an avid arcade gamer, and heck, I only play about 15 -20 different games. Would
I ever play the other 1900? Definitely not. But it would be fine to download them on a need to play basis. Would save a lot of money to us webmasters if everyone thought like this.

: I agree that it is stupid to sell them on such a public forum. Thats just asking for trouble. But on the other hand, I personally have been looking everywhere for a place to buy all the current MAME roms on cd. Why? Because my computer crapped out on me 6 months ago, and has sence then been is desparate need of a full reinstall. I just can't bear to loose the 1 Gig of roms. Sure they are free and I could spend the next 2 months downloading them all, but i would much rather pay a small fee and get them on cd (I have a feeling this wont be the last reinstall i do). Sure, it is stupid to sell them in such a public fashion, but there are viable reasons why people would need roms on cd.
