College students not falling for free subscriptions

Free Ruckus from my university and tunebite together add to 1.5 million free unprotected songs I can obtain legally. I can not afford the possibility of a lawsuit with my $45K year tuition.

#7: Noah. Sorry for the obnoxious ad. Weblogs Inc. tries to keep an eye on the ads that come across our sites, but alas, some obnoxious ones slip through. I'll report this one to our ad ninjas. Sorry for the seizure. ;)

why not have a warning saying "TUAW may give you seizures"

I still prefer buying the CD

P.S. I believe it's "college students haven't DRUNK away their IQs." I learned that in college. Where I was never drunk. :)

I agree with you Alan. My iTMS purchases are but a trickle. 128 kbps isn't worth my $.99. If Apple would sell lossless music, I'd open the floodgates with my purchases.

It is nice to have that cd collection built up. Been using lala to swap out some old cd's and found some old stuff on there also.

I cant see paying for these services, its like paying for regular radion.

Other negative aspects aside, I don't believe in paying money for "lossy" music. [especially when I can get it free, ahem] Seriously though, there's something fun about purchasing a new cd and ripping it to the beautiful lossless audio codec known as FLAC, and of course transcoding to mp3 or ogg for portable use. I then have my cd in 3 formats (including the actual cd) for specific uses, for one price.

And what did they want to get? The result is right near the action

Nice one :-)
