A DRM-crippled wireless-sending implementation is NOT better than nothing. Never knowing if it'll actually work is one thing, but when you throw in that what keeps it from working is the RIAA deciding that you don't have fair use rights to something you purchased after all... Oh well. I'm sure it'll be hacked soon enough to allow unlimited sending, and then maybe it really WILL be a feature... I guess we couldn’t have expected much more from a site named ‘Zunerama.’

Microsoft could have easily countered the industry's wants buy stating that the already crippling DRM placed on shared songs is sufficient enough, and had no obligation to be the RIAA's bitch. The DRM makers are just as terrible as the DRM implementers for supplying the DRM in the first place, just as a crack dealer is just as bad as a crack buyer, or, in the record companies' eyes, a file uploader is just as bad as a file downloader.
