The Zune is 100% Broken

The Zune Scene and Slashdot are reporting that the Zune Marketplace DRM is now broken and 100% removable.

There was a real precedent set with the Weedshare incident. Two 'security upgrades', supposedly to protect the Zune Marketplace, were the official reason that SML closed it's doors. The fact that this can occur should shake the faith any might have in a digital media marketlace. Should the marketplace gain acceptance, simple software updates could trigger the next Great Depression. There has to be a mandated responsibility to the public.

Now that this protection has been broken as well, can we break through to daylight and try to examine this subject above the table and in full public view.
