Why do you expect...

Microsoft to recreate another Napster? I mean here is a cool capability to share a song, to beam it over to a friend maybe during study hall, and your big complaint is that it's too bad that the Zune doesn't facilitate illegally duplicating it to everyone else, and somehow that's Microsoft's fault. Like, how quick do you think they would have been sued over that?

What you're really griping about is the law, and the inability of Microsoft to facilitate people's breaking it. So, go talk to your congressman.

Here's a different analogy. Songs are like candy or chewing gum. If I find a great new kind, I can give some out to my friends. But after they eat them, they have to go back to the candy store and buy some more themselves.

One question, will the Zune let you receive the same song more than once from different donors? I could imagine that could be a cool social element in the HS or college crowd. Hey, I had this cool song from George, but my 3 plays expired ... who else has got it that I can bum 3 more plays off of? And, there's a great excuse to introduce yourself to somebody new.
