The software itself was clumsy and barely usable. It was hard to even get access to what Ruckus had, and the selection that Ruckus did have wasn't very good. It was a pain to even access to stuff once you had selected it and wanted to run it. I liked that it had movies, but the fact was that most of the movies they did have were about 10 years old.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ruckus music subscription program fails to cause excitement at American University]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am also an American University Student.  Besides the access problems and lack of mac support for us mac lovers, only students living on campus were allowed access to even try the program.  As someone who lives off campus, I still had the fee built into my tuition and could not even have any type of acess to it. The administration has no idea what their students want.  Remember, President Ladner is being investigated for misuse of funds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ruckus music subscription program fails to cause excitement at American University]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[So the theory is to keep people from using University bandwidth to illegally download media right? Cause there is no real academic benefit from this, other than the "cool" factor and that apparently is lost. I am curious as to why Universities think this will work.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[greenline]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ruckus music subscription program fails to cause excitement at American University]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[My school (Boston University) has also been looking into this one.  I wish people would stop living in denial -- regardless of the legal alternatives available, the selection will always be better and cheaper through free p2p methods.  People will not stop sharing music, nor should they.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ruckus music subscription program fails to cause excitement at American University]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[The college I work for has implemented cDigix, a similar service.  We've gotten pretty good reactions from students.  It does work from off-campus, but it does not work on macs, and it's DRM does not work on iPods, which are what most students have. It DOES let you download music on up to 3  PC's, but you can't burn CD's.<br><br>Still, P2P isn't coming back - we've had it blocked for at least the last 3 years - so if students want to download music, it's either cdigix or one of the pay services.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mad Anthony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ruckus music subscription program fails to cause excitement at American University]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[Requiring all students to pay for bullshit like this is stupid.  Tuition should cover the classes and related things, not shit like this.  They might as well add in fees for alcohol if they are going to charge for downloading music and media.  Fucking administrations of these schools sound dumb as hell.  <br>I feel very strongly about schools charging students up the ass for useless shit.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Finished.Law.School]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ruckus music subscription program fails to cause excitement at American University]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/09/ruckus-music-subscription-program-fails-to-cause-excitement-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[#7<br><br>second me that!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hafa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
