Actually, I'm pretty sure they mean alternatives for free downloads. For example, I know the college I attended recently started using a system called Ruckus. It let you download free music to your computer, with a surprising selection, as long as you were a college student (you sign in with your college e-mail address/password).

Unfortunately, it was DRM ridden crap. Which some people found was quite easy to remove.
