Ruckus was offered free to all on campus students first, then to all students, and it was a nice luxury for a few months, till the licenses stopped renewing, and the selection of music ran dry.

Now its practically dead.

They offered Rukus for free to all freshman for a few years and no one used it. The fact that most people have ipods automatically means if your free service isn't itunes, it absolutely has no chance. And due to no one using it, they cancelled the service. Most likely because it was probably ridiculously expensive and in the end the students owned nothing because it was a subscription service. Of course upon cancelling the service the RIAA decided to make an example out of them and bombard them with complaints. Even though students were not downloading illegal files any less while having the free service, the complaint count went from 40 a year to over a 1000 a year. This is why no school should ever attempt to offer a free service, because when you find out it's worthless and cancel it, the RIAA will attack.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18253239 Sun, 29 Apr 2007 15:47:00 EDT
