Unferth: Hi all, I'm fairly new to the GOG community so I apologize if this question has been answered in the past, but I did a search for it and the answer wasn't readily available...

If I buy a game from GOG that comes with a soundtrack do I have the same legal rights and ownership of that soundtrack as I would have if I purchased the CD soundtrack? In other words, could I legally find the lossless versions of that music, download it, and add it to my collection and be 100% legal?

Thank you.

Hi Brian,

I really don't know the legal answer here due to the fact that a) I am not a lawyer and b) EU law differs from US law and the laws in your state :).

I would wager that you probably don't have the right to find the higher quality versions but again not a lawyer. However, if it's a soundtrack made from in-game music and you have the game legally purchased and you see that the game's files contain WAV files (lossless but very large music files) I think you are legally allowed to convert those files to a format of your choice for personal use

Again, I would really like to stress that you check the US laws regarding this because I really don't feel comfortable stating something definitive about a tricky legal issue such as this.
