I'm still a little sceptical because it does still seem like more of a giveaway than MS or publishers would be prepared to give. But on MS's side if the sharing is behind the XBL Gold paywall then MS still gets paid, so maybe MS doesn't see it as a giveaway at all.

Yeah. If that is how it works, then I can see MS being okay with it (it's almost definitely going to be behind a paywall) and third parties opting out or not as they see fit.

The guy who leaked basically everything about the Xbone does say that DRM is worse than any of us realize, and we'll find out the whole story at Gamescom. So unless the current firestorm forces them to change plans and/or explain everything before then, we'll probably have to do a lot of this sort of speculation about every feature until then.
