Rumors: Amazon to offer DRM-free Music Store?

One of latest big buzz items concerns whether Amazon is courting the digital download market. Apparently, it has started talks with the major music labels. The Register talked to an Amazon spokesman who confirmed that the company was looking specifically into digital downloads.

Less clear is the rumor that Amazon may be considering DRM-free offerings, a move that the RIAA is hardly likely to cheer about but one which would give Amazon a strong fighting chance in a market dominated by iTunes.
