Nope. That's part of Apple's anti-copy mechanism.
If you want to share music, the best ways that I have found to do it is through the Shared folder on your Mac in the Users folder. This would have to work though if she was a user on that same machine, not another machine.
The other is to make your iTunes music folder available as a shared folder on your network. She mounts this folder on her Mac's desktop, then sets iTunes to NOT copy files to her music folder when adding them to iTunes. However, your machine needs to always be available when she wants to sync her iPod, or listen to the music.
I've found the easiest way to do this is to just copy the files over to the second machine. But, you don't want to take up all that space on her hard drive. You're kind of stuck...
