College students are notorious for illegally pirating music. And with the recent shut down of one Web site, www.ruckus.com, the number of students getting their music illegally is likely to rise. Ruckus was a legal streaming service offered exclusively to college students with a valid college e-mail address, sort of like an early Facebook, but with music streams instead of social networks.
The site was backed by Sony and Universal, and it was not the only one in their line-up to face the ax. TotalMusic and Tunepost were also shut down.
Students are rightfully concerned about the lack of legal, free music available.
