In a move to reduce piracy of copyrighted material by students, Hofstra University will offer students inexpensive, high-speed access to music and movies under a deal signed yesterday.
The deal with Ruckus Network Inc., of Herndon, Va., should also take the drain off campus computers and decrease viruses, spyware and adware obtained from illegal downloading, said Laurie Harvey, Hofstra's director of student computing services.
Ruckus, which launched last fall, targets college students by charging a per-semester fee and offering high-speed downloads on campus.
Ruckus hosts songs and movies on its computers on campus and directly connects those computers into the university's network, allowing subscribers to download songs in less than 10 seconds and feature-length movies in five to 10 minutes, Ruckus spokesman Josh Weiner said.
Ruckus charges $14.95 a semester for access to 1.2 million songs and $19.95 a semester for access to movies, or $29.95 a semester for both. The service has access to 4,000 movies, offering dozens of movies at any given time and regularly rotating the lineup.
