If you press the (i) icon next to music files you bought using the UbuntuOne Music Store there is a large, orange "Publish" button. With that button you can make the file publicly available. Sharing music is illegal.

We wouldn't want Canonical to be sued for serving as a platform for illegal music sharing, so I would suggest to prohibit publishing media files bought via UbuntuOne. At the moment the Publish button does seem to work, but when you follow the URL you get a 404 error.

Maybe it would be good to built in an exception for music files with metadata indicating its licensed under a Creative Commons license right away in case such files get added in future iterations of the music store.
