Amazon.com Inc. plans to launch a digital music store later this year that will sell all songs without antipiracy technology, creating a rival to Apple Inc.’s iTunes store.The Seattle online retailer said its music store will have “millions of songs” in the MP3 format without so-called digital rights management, or DRM, software, which prevents consumers from freely copying and transfering their music among a variety of devices.
Amazon said the store will launch with music from EMI Group PLC, which said last month it would allow Apple and others to sell its music without copy protection.
