Holy shit wow! Optix/Hub/Tarpix/Mom has been providing you with free music for how many years now?

Let me dissect this for you though. But remember “Brought to you by the CUSG Research and Development
Committee.”

*goes to http://www.ruckus.com*

well fuck..it has automatically playing music ads.
Now i look like an ass because music went off during class.

Make an account, blah blah blah. Activation email, check.

Help keep Ruckus free by checking out these additional offers

No thanks

Help keep Ruckus free by checking out these additional offers

…. are you serious?

Congratulations! You already qualify for a free subscription to Ruckus.
You can start accessing Ruckus’ extensive library of content.
If you have not already done so, download and install the Ruckus Player so you can enjoy playing Ruckus content.

Jesus christ let me go to the damn site already

I would like to point out, at this point it mentions the facebook app AGAIN. I’ll make a quick suggestion to everyone. DO NOT ADD IT. By adding the app you will most likely grant Ruckus access to all your personal information that facebook logs. While facebook terms of service say they will not distribute it, Ruckus’s TOS might say “We will give it out like herpes”. DO NOT ADD THE FACEBOOK ADD

On to the service, and fuck does it play audio with every visit? Damn.
When I do a simple search “imogen heap” i am granted the ability to view more ads joy.
Hm, time to download the player. OH LOOKY HERE

Supported Operating Systems:
Windows XP, SP2 - Windows Media Player 10.0.0.3802 or higher
Windows 2000 - Windows Media Player 9
Windows Media Player 11 required for Ruckus to Go within Ruckus Player

So, XP is officially on death row by Microsoft’s statements and you don’t support Vista? Well with any luck it’ll still run with WMP11 on Vista. Maybe in support mode. So, how many of you own a Mac? HA No music for you suckers!! Let’s see that’s Student Body, times 20%, so yeah screw you ~3,000 people. Oh wait vista shipped this year didn’t it? So..add the freshman class ~4,000 of you now offically got screwed. HA i’m off to get my free music.

Oh, here’s another kicker

Built in mp3 player support for PlaysForSure Subscription mp3 players (requires Ruckus to Go account, PlaysForSure Subscription mp3 player, and Windows Media 11

PlaysForSure? For those of you that don’t know, that means the music is DRM’d. Digital Rights Management, or rather fuck you in the ass without lube. However, this particular assfuck doesn’t come in “Apple” flavor. That’s right, so lets take the 4,000 students you’ve screwed simply because they don’t have an “outdated” computer and add that to the students that have an Ipod of any kind. Congrats, you have just screwed 13,000 students out of “Free” music.

But it’s ok, your research and development group must have known this. They’re filled with all sorts of tech people right?…..right? Oh, fuck you CUSG. Enjoy riding on mommy and daddy’s money while you sit on your own thumb spinning in a chair wondering why your computer is running so slow, is it the all the ads, or the aids you contracted last night fucking your dog. How about you just move your mouse over to this form i’ve created to download free music? All it requires is your name and social security number! Then free music! Seriously, what the fuck CUSG? Did you sit around in a circle jacking each other off and reach this conclusion? Here’s a better solution, everyone on hub and tarpix log on and rape the Ruckus service, strip the DRM and offer it for FREE, the real free, that doesn’t come with all sorts of underline, between the line, over the line, behind the back bullshit TOS.

gg CUSG, gg.

EDIT: Want to really do some good CUSG? Try cutting a deal with itunes. I hate their program but it runs on Win32 and OSX while providing DRM content for Ipods, the majority mp3 player that Clemson students whore out.
