"Fair" use

I know it's obvious that I have no love for the RIAA, but today I decided to give the Ruckus service another shot. Ruckus is a download service made available to UT students for "free" to encourage legal downloading of music. Actually UT students pay exorbitant fees for "technology and services" at campus and this could easily be wrapped into that

Sounds like a case for Gyopi-chan!
Really, the music business is infuriating. I don't mind paying for music, but I'd like to at least be able to listen to it on my terms. I'd like to buy a song ONCE and be able to put it on a CD to play in my car, put it on my mp3 player for work or working-out, and save a copy as a backup. Is that too much to ask? It's MY music if I paid for it, so why should anyone care what I want to do with it!? :(

You might have to reformat it.

There's a reason Robin Hood, Zorro and Luke Skywalker are admired; they don't play by the establishment's rules.

We got the MP3 player working again (and removed the old operating system on it). Still haven't quite fixed up the MP3's, but with some time it should be possible.
