The only issue was that someone who had DRM-protected music could not transfer it to a device that uses a different form of DRM, such as iPod or a Zune. There are workarounds for that, and they were widely published.
Is not the Zune a Micro$oft device?
Was not PlayForSure a Micro$oft certification for portable device (like for example, the Zune) and online music services?
One would assume that one could transfer music between using two Micro$oft ecosystems, but M$ decided to change it's own rules and be sleazy about it, with the customer getting the short end of the stick.
There goes the public assuming anything about Micro$oft.
