Seeing the success of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, studio execs are now going INSIDE the game. Like the music track that was playing while you shot that hooker in GTA, buy it. Liked that song to the Spider Queen entrance in that last cut scene, buy it.

Get ready for it.

Well first you are going to have to make me actually buy your game and not steal it.

demos should be mandatory by law since you cannot return games (PC) (for the most part)

Demo's should be optional, decisions like that should be left up to the owner of the company who made it, not the law.

I know it aint.
Your looking beyond the problem.
Instead of adding a law as you proposed, why not remove a law, companies will use the new freedom to set their own rules.

Flecco: iPod is broken.; +1,048|7093|NT, like Mick Dundee

They can go get fucked. If we've already paid for the game shouldn't that include the licence to rip music from the game files and listen to it personally when-ever we want imo. The ELUA of a game should include this eventuality.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

That's a good question...do you own the rights to the music in the game? The record companies don't think you do and will try to sell it to you.
