I don't think anyone is argueing about their right to protect themselves. It apparently goes a bit deeper than that. This reviewer says "Microsoft should simply turn over all its marketing to the Xbox 360 folks—at least some of the people in that group have marketing skills." It appears that their approach kinda bites the hand that speads the word about their product. One interesting perspective to consider.

Considering the Microsoft's recent past, I'm actually surprised there wasn't a lot more. No, I'm not a Microsoft fan (nor hater), but imo it only makes since to protect themselves.
