You may be right on both points, but I suspect enough people purchase music online that they'll get frustrated. Honestly? If Microsoft couldn't get 100% of purchased music to share, I think they should just not enable it. It's a complexity that will quickly confuse consumers and then they'll ignore WiFi completely. I'd much rather have seen an online store, more so than sharing. Sharing's a fantastic idea in theory, but it has to be implemented in such a way that it'll be virally effective. It is not so, now.
