If you go to: www.zune.net here at the bottom of the page you can read:

[1] The Zune to Zune sharing feature may not be available for all audio files on your device[...]

But what does this mean? Read more...

We read the review of Newsweek's Steven Levy about the Zune. On page 3 he explains this "The Zune to Zune sharing feature may not be available for all audio files on your device[...]":

What's more, when I tried to send a Rolling Stones song I just bought on the Zune Marketplace to another Zune, I got a message reading, "Can't receive songs because of rights restrictions." Huh? Microsoft says that in a minority of cases it was unable to secure artist rights for even this limited form of sharing, and that's the message you get when you try to send songs from those holdouts. Seems to me that when you buy those non-sharable songs from the Zune Marketplace you should be warned about this. But Microsoft says that they have no plans to give you that information, even if it makes you look like an idiot when you waste a friend's time by trying to send a song and getting only that insulting error message.

We agree with Steven Levey on this, the customers have the right to know what they are buying and how they can use it. We hope this gets solved.
