Surpisingly, Ruckus Rocks

Ruckus, a service that offers free music to college students (anyone with a .edu email address), is really taking off. Many thought that the service would be unappealing because the free music can only be listened to on the PC where it was downloaded; as it turns out, college students spend a lot of time on the PC, and don’t mind the restrictions, considering that the music is free. Besides, if the students really want to put the music on their mp3 players, a premium service is available for a small fee. All the music is free until graduation; at that point, students must pay $8.99/month to keep all the music they’ve downloaded from Ruckus (so, that’s how they get ya!). The question remains, will Ruckus ever open their doors to the rest of us like Facebook did? Or do college students get to have all the fun to themselves?
