This is great that the music so far in the PSN has been DRM-free, I just wish that Sony would do the same with the videos. They’d get soooooo much money, soooooo much.

PS4 needs to be just like be PS2! It doesn’t need to be a carbon copy of PS2 but rather it should incorporate everything that made the PS2 a hit and the best selling console with over 140 million plus in sales. Secondly, PS4 needs to scream fun and adventure as opposed to being superior and technologically advanced. PS3 is a great console and should do well over its 10-year life-cyle but PS4 will and should serve mainly and at this point only as a games console with our brand of computer entertainment. Playstation brand controls have proven the test of time but now it is time for something new, different, and innovative from SCEI. I believe in PS4 and that the system should strategically launch sometime in late 2010. If not 2010, definetly in Spring 2011. Let’s beat the beast Microsoft to market. As for as current plans, continue to produce both 1st party and third party on the PS3 as well progressing through our online strategy for HOme, LBP, and other MMO’s. PS4 should not be an evolution but rather a separation from PS3. It should be more user-frienldy and less tech savvy. Hope everything goes well with the development of the new platform of Playstation brand of the future Signing off…..

I find it hard to believe that copyright law is THAT different in EU or Australia, especially considering the prevalence of EULAs. First off, it’s explicitly stated that it’s a LICENSE agreement in the name, and secondly most of them make it clear that you’re not allowed to copy, reverse engineer etc the code, and that contract overrides the baseline law (you can make copies for your personal use). They still hold the copyright on the code or the sound files, and the very definition of a copyright is that you get to control who can and can’t make copies of your creation. I love it when copyright holders let me copy their creation for my convenience, and I go out of my way to support them, especially the most permissive licenses like GPL.

Is it yours to the extent that you can learn the songs verbatim from the CD and perform them live and charge admission? Can you make copies and sell them? Most people agree that’s wrong. At that point, the thing you bought (which is really the music moreso than the disc itself) doesn’t *belong* to you in this absolute sense you’re trying to portray it. I’m not saying this means it’s illegal to make backups or put it on your computer AND your MP3 player, I’m saying that framing the discussion in terms of absolute ownership doesn’t capture the reality of the situation.

Again, if you want to argue the practicality of disc-based media over purely digital media, I’m on board. But saying that what you’re paying for is something fundamentally different and your rights are different is simply false. The only difference is the delivery method.

But the copying issue is moot in the case of the Eden soundtrack, because by making them DRM-free MP3s, they HAVE made it simple for you to copy them onto your computer or MP3 player without issue, and there’s no license agreement that takes that right from you.

@70 – I’m going to complain in *every* relevant thread until my demands are met.

Sony should be satisfying *all* its customers – not just some.

Wuggyboobeaufuf, stop complaining in EVERY post about a downloadable game. The fact is, these games are not possible on a physical medium because they just don’t make economic sense. Does it really make sense to press a ton of discs for a small game and sell them for $20 when you could save the company and consumers money by offering it up for $10? No, it does not.

However, I would like to see some kind of PSN compilation disc in the future. Sort of like a “Best of PSN” collection on a Blu-ray.

And, fact of the matter is that’s factually incorrect to begin with. A physical copy is *mine*.

If I want to rip it to my computer? MY right.
If I want to rip it to my MP3 player? MY right.

A physical copy *belongs* to ME.

>Fact of the matter is even if you buy a disc with the game on it, you still don’t have ownership of it, it’s all licensed code. Legally, your rights are the same

Actually, outside of the U.S., that’s incorrect. Which is why I want a physical copy.

Hey! Our office is really nice – you need to see the desks in context – we have a hemp floor and the wooden desks fit in perfectly.

Also, just to mention but you can get the physical CD on import from cdjapan.co.jp too for people who want the embossed CD and Baiyon-drawn artwork inlays.

However, the PSN package is a pretty good deal I think, and the CD import should be considered the Collector\’s Edition.

Forgot to add that Baiyon did an amazing job with this soundtrack. My fave track is #2, great beat. Will def use this music in WipeoutHD and other PS3 games.
