Sony's Draconian DRM for the PixelJunk Eden Soundtrack

Kidding! There's actually none whatsoever, which in this day is somewhat surprising though a wonderful breath of fresh air.

Some quick backstory for those that might not be aware, this week Q Games made the PixelJunk Eden soundtrack available on the PSN for the crazy-low price of $2.99. 12 tracks in total. Yea, it's a good deal.

So last night I figured it was a no-brainer to pick it up. As it's unpacking the data onto your HDD (which you can then easily copy off) they give you a heads up that it's got no copy protection but to kindly keep it to yourself.

It's a sad state of affairs when I'm taken aback when a consumer is not treated like a criminal. Big high-five for Sony and Q Games on this one, they could've gone all iTunes on us and tried to lock down when and where we can play the files we just bought.... but they took the higher (cooler) road. Between things like this and the stance on the upcoming Fallout 3, maybe we're getting ready to make a turn on this whole DRM bullshit.

Yeah they are great about that. Did the same thing with the Monsters soundtrack (same price too).
