Is This The New Napster?

CNN recently wrote an article about a teenager creating a free music service. Sounds familiar. Muziic is a new interface that allows you to play YouTube clips as high quality MP3 files. Yes, you can play those rare performances from artists like Chaka Khan or those unreleased songs from artists like Brandy. This idea seems so simple and pragamatic that it makes me ponder this question: "Why didn't YouTube think of this already?" Obviously, Muziic doesn't equal Napster or Limewire in popularity, but I'm sure the record labels are already preparing for legal action. Or maybe the labels have learned their lesson--to turn every threat into an opportunity.
