Spotify and Hulu are teaming up to give US college students access to both companies' premium services for $4.99 a month. The new service is aptly called "Spotify Premium for Students, now with Hulu."

Spotify's announcement hints that this package is just the first of many bundles to come for the two services. This one pairs Spotify Premium, the company's ad-free music streaming service, with Hulu's Limited Commercials plan, which lets you stream current TV shows, movies and original content.

Meanwhile, torrents are free, and commercial-free--100% cheaper, 100% less suck.

    It's the standard drugdealer-special -- hook 'em when they are young:ish, college kids are still kinda young, plus they are probably the biggest "pirates" on the market. By giving them this "super deal" they hope to create customer loyalty forever.

    You think that is a drug dealer thing?? The Catholic church says "get them before they're twelve and you got em for life.". Drug dealers are late to the game!

      Unless snorting coke or smoking weed at daycare before your little nap becomes a thing I don't think they can go much younger then they do. Plus toddlers are usually somewhat starved for cash.
