Ruckus Closes Down 125
An anonymous reader writes "According to TechCrunch, Ruckus, the ad-supported music service targeted at college students, has closed down for good. Ruckus was notable for its poorly-designed client software and .wma-only DRM-laden catalog of 3,000,000 tracks, somewhat less than half the size of the iTunes catalog."

lol, everyone uses Zunes, who cares about iPod. Also everyone uses Internet Explorer. And Windows.

The way they advertised it here on my campus, you'd think you'd get expelled by just mentioning the words "sharing". Maybe even "fair use".
DRM + ads (Score:4, Funny)
Wait, wait, wait, so you're saying that this store combines DRM and ads? Wow!
And their range is a fraction of iTunes', which is a fraction of the pirate bay's, you say? Cool!
What's that? The store client is buggy, and there's only one type of uncommonly used proprietary format? No shit!
Oh and you say it closed down? I wonder why something like that would happen...
