Bug Description

OP: I've bought a couple songs on Ubuntu One Music service.

When I go online I can click more -> publish on any of the Purchased music files. And i get a valid link.

ME: I do not think the option should be disabled; there may very well be usage scenarios without licencing issues. Perhaps it would be elegant if Ubuntu One warned the user, upon choosing that option, that publically sharing music may violate terms of use.

I am opening a bug report so that someone closer to the fire can decide whether to prioritize this.
