Ruckus To Allow Students To Legally Share Music

Bookmark and Share

Ruckus introduced legal music sharing, a way for Ruckus users to legally find and download music on other Ruckus users' computers. By introducing legal music sharing, Ruckus becomes the first college-only digital media service to allow LEGAL peer-to-peer swapping of a music library.

"Ruckus is excited to offer legal music sharing, an improvement to the traditional P2P experience for students," said William Raduchel, Chairman and CEO of Ruckus. "The application enables users to find and download virus free tracks from Ruckus on their friends' and classmates' computers at incredible speeds. What we're really doing is allowing students to find friends through media, and media through friends, using Ruckus' powerful social media application. The Ruckus music sharing application also protects students from legal liability."

The introduction of legal music sharing will allow students on participating campuses to search - with permission - the playlists and file libraries of other students on their own subnet, and download the files to their own computers. Libraries of thousands of songs can be downloaded in minutes. This new addition marks the beginning of an improved, legal peer-to-peer file sharing on college campuses.

"Ruckus has worked very hard to provide students a forum in which to legally access and share their music, while ensuring that the intellectual property of artists is protected," said IMF: International Music Feed President and Ruckus advisor Andy Schuon. "Ruckus knows that to thrive in the college market, it must keep its finger on the pulse of the campus community, and providing a legal, flexible and fast P2P option goes a long way towards meeting students' digital media needs."

Given that unlicensed digital music downloading on college campuses continues to draw the attention of both the RIAA and MPAA, and creates significant legal liability for students, Ruckus' innovation of legal music sharing is particularly relevant. For less than the cost of a CD for the entire semester, students can take advantage of Ruckus' giant subscription music and movie offering, as well as participate in their powerful social media applications. Ruckus enables students to express themselves through their media and find friends and classmates, who share their music, movie and social interests.
