What is Ruckus? It's a place where current college students can download music. Free. Legally. No joke. I've checked it out, and apparently, Ruckus makes enough money from the advertisements in its Ruckus Media Player (or whatever the hell its called) to pay for the licenses, meanining YOU, the listener, get to listen to your favorite tracks straight from your computer without paying a dime. The only downside is that you do indeed need to download the Ruckus Media Player and use it to play these tracks.
Dunno how many of you already know about this, but I just recently found out.

What.
The fuck.
I'm going to go tell people about this.

KRILLIN IS A PLANT!

Tch, email's gotta end in .edu. Must be an American thing, because mind ends in .ac.uk =( (ie academic)

Seriously, SB? That blows the big one.
Hey. College Kids. - Super Buu - 03-18-2007
It doesn't really blow. All it means is that I'm slightly more illegal. >_>

Btw, that looks awesome. Something I can look forward to in the future, when I go to college. =)

But they're douches.
They did this viral advertsing on facebook posing as some dude whose girlfriend would have a threesome and film it if his group reached x00,000 members. Instead they were like "visit our website!".

Seriously though, what does it matter if they're giving away free music? I'd take it if I were one of you guys. To hell with fighting the power. =P
Hey. College Kids. - Vegeta - 03-19-2007
I didn't say I wouldn't use it.
They're still douches. I hate advertsing like that.
Hey. College Kids. - Super Buu - 03-19-2007
Ah, I assumed from the 'but' that you were saying we shouldn't use it.
But yeah, I agree that it is douchery. It was like the "All I want for Christmas is a PSP" debacle.

Or the ATHF in Boston thing.

They try it all the time. It's dumb.
Hey. College Kids. - Super Buu - 03-19-2007
I thought they were just regular ads, and then people thought they were bombs, which is what caused all the hubbub? I'm pretty sure they didn't put them out there expecting people to think they were anything but LEDS ... or maybe they did. >_>
Hey. College Kids. - Hellfighter 17 - 03-19-2007
I've never downloaded illegally before, anyway. =\
Hey. College Kids. - Tobias - 03-19-2007
You're missing out.
Chaotic neutral ftw
Hey. College Kids. - Hellfighter 17 - 03-19-2007
It would be hard to if I tried.
