 A new report from Zunerama indicates that songs from certain artists can not be shared via Zune. The report indicates that of the 50 songs attempted to be shared only 29 of them were successful. That isn’t impressive see that only 58% of the songs were shared successfully.Â
 Apparently, when the transfer between Zunes is completed you would receive this message: “Can’t send some songs because of rights restrictions. 29 of 50 songs sent to [user]’s Zune”. (As seen on left)Â
 This is pretty disappointing seeing that Zune’s most prominent feature is the ‘Social’ aspect. It is also disappointing to see that the record industry is putting these limitations on the files despite the 3plays/3days rule already on the Zune. I hope Microsoft works out things with record companies to eliminate these limitations. Or at least tell the user of the songs that cant be shared beforehand.Â
 Sample of artists whose songs you can’t share: Beyonce, Fergie, Snow Patrol, Akon, Weird Al Yankovic, My Chemical Romance, Gwen Stefani, Ciara, Blue October, JoJo, Nas, Fantasia, Daniel Powter and Young JeezyÂ

Does this hold true for non copyright protected music? Please excuse my ignorance but I am the only person I know with anything other than an iPod (much less a Zune) and I haven’t used the sharing feature. Is it even possible to share music that isn’t copyright protected?
I would think that it isn’t in effect for non-copyrighted songs because the only thing stopping it from being shared is the DRM. But Im not completely sure. I’ll let you know if I find out more.
