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.

It doesn't really blow. All it means is that I'm slightly more illegal. >_>

That's okay though! It gives you more edge, which you'll need for your record deal. =o

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!".

I read about that on wikipedia.

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

I didn't say I wouldn't use it.

They're still douches. I hate advertsing like that.

Ah, I assumed from the 'but' that you were saying we shouldn't use it. Tongue

But yeah, I agree that it is douchery. It was like the "All I want for Christmas is a PSP" debacle.

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. >_>
