article published on 3 October, 2006

If it is shared from Zune to Zune wirelessly, it gets the bomb. 3 days or 3 plays....POOF!
But like I said....how long before this is hacked?

its not DRM presay its more the OS logging what files to remove,of coasre alittle code added on to a MP3 to tell the OS to remove it is about the same,well ya know....it might not be a bad thing that the Zune has to be wired to get on the net...because wireless firmware auto updates to hack the hacks is annoying :3

I just read the update to the article and that is a good thing. Does that mean we can get rid of DRM if possible and then we can play the files forever also.

hopefully we'll be able to put Linux on yet another MS product, making it halfway useful.

I think apple paid people to hack there firmware so people would buy it with the intention to jailbreak it.
Even if they did not this is a good idea. M$ needs to pay someone to "hack" the zune. No one wants a basic mp3 player/FM radio. Even with other things it ALWAYS better hacked.
I have been attempting to hack it. No luck. Really really difficult to even get the firmware.
I have been successful in installing custom apps through c# though.
If i dont have the hack in a few months someone else will. I will not wait a year. I will have moved on to hacking something easier if it takes that long.
