Washington University in St. Louis, my overpriced private school, recently pulled the same bullshit. They surveyed the student body and, despite our requests, ended up going with Ruckus.
Ruckus is Windows-only (despite a significant Mac base at my school) and only provides DRM-protected Windows Media downloads. Burning isn't free. You can't use it with an iPod, of course. To make matters worse, the software creates pop-up ads while the software is open.
Something dirty is happening behind the scenes in these Ruckus deals. Student's DON'T WANT IT. It's NOT USEFUL.
