Microsoft Paying You to Share Songs

It's a widley known concept in the internet marketing world, but Microsoft don't tend to do it - affiliate marketing.

It appears that may pay users that share music if the recepient goes onto their service and buys the song or album they were given a taster off.

Now this sounds like a great way to make the Zune the iPod killer it was touted to be all those months ago before the all the DRM stuff got in the way.

But the only problem is ... it isn't true. For now at least!
