lets hope people see sense.

Good news is right now it's on hold maybe indefinite bad news is Europe is having it's own called ACTA.

They're pissed off that corrupt execs are cutting them out. Truth is we do need legislation but this doesn't help anyone

But surely youtube should be fine because they tell you to take down copyrited material and dont have a download file option[that i know of] so they are not stealing money from anyone.

Hell if not for youtube i would not have bought half the albums/movies/games/soundtracks i have ove the last few years.

Under SOPA the owners of the site would be penalized over any breach of IP or copyright. As it stands youtube is pretty paranoid about copywritten material (to the point where fake companies can claim a breach and get away with it) Youtube would be hit really hard.

Actually a remix of the song from Zone of the Enders 2. TBH I quite enjoy it.

This was in the Cowboy Bebop game for PS2 (which never made it abroad of Japan, unfortunately).
Sort of a lost great. Written by Yoko Kanno, sung by Ilaria Graziano. Definitely a winner in my eyes.

The synth is different in this compared to the original SNES sound (I think it's from the PS2 remake), but the orchestration is still pretty impressive for a 16-bit non-RPG. Never really listened to it before (never gotten the bad ending, which is what it's from), but I'm loving it now that I found it.

I very very rarely use the term epic so when I say it I mean it.
I always loved Metroid Prime music but for 3 they went with something more vocal and the credits it goes further. You could just fit it with something like Skryim (minus the short speech mid song)

Masaya seemed to have a great talent for picking just the right intro/title screen music for their games back in the day.
They always seem to start out with a sound or a tone that feels completely distinctive to the game it's from, usually starting with the Masaya logo, and gradually building up into full-blown music as it enters the title screen.
Kind of hard to explain what I mean, so I'll just post 'em.

Just works so great for intro music. Gives them a good feeling of epic-ness (it's a word, dammit!), the way they build themselves up, rather than just coming out of the door swinging.
