[Sonny Banks]

A 15-year-old has created a free-music service by harnessing YouTube's vast library of music videos.

When I was 15 I just chased after girls (unsuccessfully most of the time). Don't teenagers do that anymore?

Of course, when I was 15 we didn't have "the internet" - just BBSs running of of other people's home computers (80286 PCs, Commodores, Amigas, and Apples (maybe even a Tandy here and there) etc..) though their screaming fast 2400 baud modems (yes, that's 2.4KbpS - my modem was 300 baud (and I still have it) ).

I feel so behind the times, especially when a 15 year old can come up with that and the best I do now is a WP site with a free template.

When I was 15 the only things I know was soccer, tv and my Commodore 64.
This new Internet-generation grow so fast...I'm curious to see if Google will buy that software in a near future...

i heard Great Britain removed all music videos from youtube.
if other countries follow suit, this kid's site would have no content.
I hope he doesn't get sued.

So he basically made a scraper, and set it loose against YouTube, using the database of music videos available from CDDB (it's like IMDB for music).
Technically speaking, it's not that difficult. It just requires motivation. Most of these scripts are actually available at a number of "Scene" sites.

I'll give the kid kudos, but only for being able to figure out no one's exploited YouTube like this yet, not for any technical prowess.
