Music Lovers Unite!

Like many students at Vassar, I have a love of music. Whether I’m doing homework, groovin’ down or just relaxing, It’s always been a close friend. Until recently a bulk of my library came from Limewire or other p2p networks (yeah, it’s against school policy but the administration didn’t seem to care and plus my computers not registered anyway.) Sadly this is no longer an option. Sure there’s still a bunch of bit torrent hosts and the occasional ‘free’ website but these are entirely unreliable and often more of a hassle than they prove to be worth. What are we to do?

Recently a friend at Princeton turned me onto Ruckus, a legal music sharing network reserved exclusively for college students. As of now, the site boasts over 100 colleges and universities across the country and over 3 million downloadable tracks submitted by the artists themselves, all completely legally. See for yourself (http://www.ruckus.com/ruckus/home.do). No longer will we musicphiles hide shadows, suffering oppression at the pen of the man. Let’s step into the light. It’s fast, easy and lawful. We need to get Vassar in on this. Any Suggestions?
