Amazon.com, the biggest online seller of CDs, plans to sell songs that can be freely copied to any computer, iPod etc. Amazon plans to add a music download store to its Web site this year. It will sell songs and albums in the MP3 format without D.R.M(Digital Rights Management).Amazon said its service would include music from one major label, EMI, and from 12,000 independent music companies that have chosen not to use copy-restricting software.
In April, it was announced that EMI will sell MP3 without D.R.M in iTunes Store.Other major music labels, like Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group, have appeared reluctant to join EMI in forgoing copy protection. But Universal Music Group may be getting ready to make the leap.
