Oops so it’s been awhile since I last posted. Ok partially this is my fault, but partially because the internet connection in my room has gone from bad to worse. Now many of you may not know this already, but Tulane, as a private university, doesn’t allow you to use file sharing software like Limewire. This means that you can’t really download anything you want to download because Tulane is particularly conscious about copyright laws. Now I tried to get around this by using another downloading system, using torrents, but that is what causes my internet to go from bad to worse.
But then I found this thing called ctrax. It’s like this free online music database, and its REALLY fast. It’s a great way to download music, and they have most of the popular music you’d find on Limewire anyways. And now, they’re letting you download a special player for it so you can put this music on your ipod like with files you download from Limewire. As a freshman, I never knew about this. Only after I got onto the Residential Hall Association did I find out. So pretty much I spent an entire two semesters being angry that I couldn’t download anything here. Ctrax is not a bad option, and they’re fast-growing as well. They also don’t violate copyright laws . . . which no longer is a concern for most of us but in the end, downloading music from Limewire is still sort of illegal.
So here’s to all you incoming freshman: Don’t fret about Limewire- check out Ctrax instead!
