Zune Patent for Paid-Per-Squirts?

This is kind of brilliant. This Microsoft patent allows for a user to receive a squirted song by Zune-to-Zune WiFi transfer, eventually paying for it when the 3-plays or 3-days are up. Even cooler, the squirter would get a commission from the squirtee’s purchase. A smart move if they could get it working in the wild. [Zune Scene via Nate]
