 UPDATED. As new details about Microsoft’s iPod challenger Zune pop up in FCC filings, it is clear that its competitive advantage is in allowing users to create mobile social networks and stream music to nearby friends or strangers. However, it seems we will indeed have to wait for a Zune player that will let you download and buy the music you want on the go. You will still have to connect this version of it to a PC to do that.

Washington Post: "Weighing Webcasters' Rights to Content"Authored by Mark Hefflinger on November 3, 2005 - 3:18am.
Washington - The Washington Post reported on Thursday on a dispute argument pitting broadcasters and webcasters, who are in favor of international treaties giving them 50-year copyrights on most any video they transmit, against digital rights advocates who say such laws will erode rights to works in the public domain. The treaties would give the broadcaster new rights to works they transmit, even if the work happens to be uncopyrighted or if the copyright has lapsed. "This new layer turns every distributor into yet another owner," James Love, head of the Consumer Project on Technology, told The Post. Broadcasters maintain that the new regulations would still allow users to make private copies of these broadcasts, but would not allow them to redistribute those copies for commercial profit.
