Wow what caused that to happen? Amazon has been down for about 20mins, came back up briefly and is dead again right now around 11:08am PST.

Friday, February 15, 2008
Ruh-roh… Marc Chung sends in news that Amazon’s huge S3 storage service went down for 3 hours this morning.

New York Times reports that Sony continues to lead the anti-DRM charge (did I just write that?!) and has announced that it will start offering DRM-free downloads of it music on Amazon’s MP3 service.
