Microsoft was planning to reward song sharing with their Zune player. On 11th of November, J. Allard and Christina Calio, from the Microsoft Zune team, talked about implementing such feature. Zune team is planning to reward users with Marketplace Points, the same points you use on both Zune Marketplace and Xbox 360 Marketplace.

Here is another news of Microsoft is trying a collaboration with Weedshare. Microsoft is buying Weedshare’s IP.

Microsoft signed a patent non-assertion agreement that grants Shared Media Licensing the rights to exploit its patent and any patents related to it without fear of legal repercussions. So if Microsoft should roll out a Zune compensated sharing program based on it, Shared Media Licensing and Weedshare already are in a unique position to leverage it for their own benefit.
