Until then, it's not fair to say that a medium that can't provide a right doesn't allow that right. Your argument is like claiming that people didn't have the right to record on CDs (before recordable CDs existed) while they had the right to record on cassettes. It's not that the right didn't exist (the Home Recording Act probably applies to recordable CDs as well as cassette tapes), it's that the non-recordable nature of the medium made that right moot.
How do you not understand that?

I get it, but it is irrelevant to the analogy. For those who don't understand the value proposition of Zune Pass (or other subscription music services), it's similar to satellite radio - you are paying for access to content, not for the music itself.
All of your posts are about why subscription music is a better value proposition than satellite radio, because it is on demand, too. I agree 100%, but it's not necessary to make the analogy.
