You're pushing trolling and flaming limits now. Calm down and step off. You have no proof, either, and I believe that unfounded accusations also lack integrity, as well, if I'm not mistaken? Nice pot meet kettle scenario unfolding here.

Im not trolling. Im providing Proof. Read up, investigate for yourself.
Btw - This is my Favorite part... when he tries to Steal Mr. Do by re-registering it with the US patent office:
In July of 2002 Ultracade Technologies announced in a press release that it would begin including Universal arcade game titles in the Ultracade multi-game system. Those properties would include: Mr. Do!, Mr. Do's Castle, Mr. Do's Wild Ride, Do Run Run, Cosmic Avenger, Jumping Jack, Kick Rider, Lady Bug, Nova 2001, Snap Jack, Space Panic, Super Pierot and Yankee Do.
Ultracade Technologies would also begin selling a Mr. Do t-shirt through its online store that retailed for $19.99.
The July 2002 Ultracade press release has one apparent peculiarity: Ultracade Technologies repeatedly uses the Universal company name in the release, when Universal had already officially changed its name to Aruze in April of 1998. The Aruze company name is not found anywhere in the release. A statement from an Aruze Corporation representative is also absent from the Ultracade press release. A paragraph with Aruze company information is nowhere to be found.
Foley also appeared to have filed a claim for Mr. Do at the U.S. Copyright Office under his own name (Registration number: Txu-1-217-203). On February 23rd, 2004 a claim for the title would be made as "Mr. Do]", the claimant would be Foley himself, and the claim limit would consist of "New Matter: new & rev. text of computer program." Foley would make a claim once again for the same title at the U.S. Copyright Office two days later (Registration number: Vau-619-200), in which the claim limit consisted of "New matter: revisions & additions". The description for this filing would consist of "Art Original".
U.S. Copyright Office records also show that an "Intellectual property security agreement" for Mr. Do would be recorded on December 8th, 2005 between Foley and an individual by the name of Peter Feuer, with Feuer being represented by attorney Bruce R. Lesser (U.S. Copyright Office Document Number: V3532D164). Peter Feuer is known as the former president and founder of Merit Industries, an amusement game manufacturing business.
U.S. Copyright Office records show that Universal Company originally registered its game titles Cosmic Avenger, Ladybug, Mister Do, Mister Do's Castle, Mister Do's Wild Ride, Snap Jack, and Space Panic for copyright between 1982 and 1984. The filing for Mr. Do would be specifically titled as "Mister Do" by Universal on its original copyright application.
The contributing writer for this story first contacted Aruze Corporation on April 17th, 2006 asking if the company had licensed any of its video game properties to Ultracade Technologies and David R. Foley. Mr. Mitsuo Kiyokawa, then general manager of Aruze's corporate planning office in Tokyo, responded by saying:
"We have not found any records to show that we licensed our intellectual property to those parties. Thus, the way we do is to contact those parties and see how they react. Thank you for your cooperation."
Shortly thereafter, Aruze stopped corresponding to the emails of this contributor when the company was asked if it could make a public statement on the matter with regards to its games appearing on Ultracade multi-game systems.
Approximately six weeks after Aruze was first contacted about Ultracade for this story, US Patent and Trademark Office records indicate that Aruze Corporation would file for trademark on Cosmic Avenger, Do! Run Run, Mr. Do!, Mr. Do's Castle, and Space Panic on May 25th, 2006. Another filing on June 2nd, 2006 would appear for Mr. Do's Wild Ride. These new filings for trademarks would replace ones originally filed by Universal USA between 1982 and 1984 when the company's arcade game subsidiary was based in Santa Clara, California. Trademark records indicate that the original Universal USA trademark registrations for Cosmic Avenger, Lady Bug, Mr. Do!, Snap Jack, and Space Panic were cancelled on various dates between 1989 to 1991.
On June 23rd, 2006, U.S. Copyright Office records indicate that the December 8th, 2005 intellectual property security agreement between Foley and Feuer for Mr. Do was terminated, (U.S. Copyright Office Document Number: V3539D801).
