This may end up being the achilles heel in Zune's sharing feature:

What’s really nuts is that the restrictions even stomp on your own musical creations. Microsoft’s literature suggests that if you have a struggling rock band, you could “put your demo recordings on your Zune” and “when you’re out in public, you can send the songs to your friends.” What it doesn’t say: “And then three days later, just when buzz about your band is beginning to build, your songs disappear from everyone’s Zunes, making you look like an idiot.”

If I own my creation, why should you impose your DRM on it? It ought to be mine to do as I wish. Taking that liberty away from me is an oppressive policy.
