You call this a NON-STORY?!! What more could you want??? This 15 year old boy was appropriately named David, as he is now taking on all of the Goliaths. He has apparently won against YouTube and now his final Goliath is the (record labels) and just as the story goes, he is the one everybody is rooting for. Please keep us updated on this story cnet!

i love muziic.

its a good thing they made the video player larger cos it was too small to watch the videos. some people actually like watching the videos as well as listening to the music.

good luck.

I like the kid's chutzpah, but the service is kinda useless to be honest.

At least YouTube was smart enough to avoid being the bad guy and picking on the little boy and his loving father, destroying their dream of using YouTube's API to build a music site, hatched during a particularly boring episode of Star Trek.

I'm glad Youtube made the right decision here...this is/was a smart move on their part.

I've been following this kid ever since I first heard about Muziic: glad to hear it's working out for him so far!

In case the music labels decide to hassle them, though (which may very well happen...), David needs to put on his thinking cap and find a non-related need in the industry that's not yet filled. The publicity built up from Muziic will carry over into whatever else he decides to try his hand at, and everything will flow over nicely. (providing that the new device or application works, of course)
