Digital Music At Colleges
AP: A good overview of the issues at colleges and universities, especially after the introduction of legal services such as Ruckus, Cdigix, Napster and RealNetworks' own efforts.
The experiment with Ruckus Networks at American University in Washington, D.C. didn't go very well, and the univ. is switching to Napster next semester. Only about half of the 3,800 eligible students actually used the Ruckus service last spring, despite having an anonymous benefactor cover the subscription costs.
The key is that students still can't move the music to iPods, a pipe dream for everyone (except using iTunes) else as well.
Cary Sherman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, said the response to the legal services show that universities also need to employ technical measures to block file-swapping of copyright music.
