I wrote fugbar with the reasoning that everyone can quite easily
find the logo data from the multitude of public domain demo/game
roms available that include them, and fugbar only needs to
extract a logo once (it will save a local copy for later use).
I reckon that newbies won't have any trouble finding the logo if
they bother to spend a few minutes looking for it.
Since I'm in the US and given the state of the government
these days I have to admit I was looking out for myself and
avoiding any potential legal issues :) This is why I decided to
make the user fetch the logo once, thereafter it works
transparently.
