@lurker said in Is it Legal to use an arcade machine running retropie, put it in a public place and charge quarters to use it?:

It is like that in all sorts of things. Notice you will rarely see soda vending machines offer Coke AND Pepsi at the same time.

Well said. :)

@benjaminjay I agree that most game cafe's and such don't do their full due diligence in terms of having full legal right to do everything they do.

I can tell, as my return to the emulation scene after many years of hibernation was triggerd by an obviously custom made MAME cocktail table in a German craft beer bar in Winter 2016. Now, I have a self-made upright cabinet in my living room. Damn those bar operators! ;) (and the "good friend" who led us there)
