"I made a song. I own it. How come, when I wirelessly send it to a girl I want to impress, the song has 3 days/3 plays?" Good question. There currently isn't a way to sniff out what you are sending, so we wrap it all up in DRM. We can't tell if you are sending a song from a known band or your own home recording so we default to the safety of encoding. And besides, she'll come see you three days later. . ." A friend of mine just linked me to this, so sorry if this is old news, but it looks like it was just posted yesterday and I haven't seen any traffic on it. Won't that violate a great load of copyright license? Is there some Fair Use defense of that sort of behavior I'm not figuring it out? If I license a song of mine with a license that doesn't allow for DRM, is Microsoft infringing?
