How does Amazon respond to Apple’s increasing the size, and dropping the price of, its DRM-free music store? By promising you free money, of course.

Amazon was quick to point out yesterday that its affiliates can earn up to 20 percent, or up to $1.50, per album or song sold on its AmazonMP3 online music store. (Compare that to the 5 percent that affiliates can make from iTunes.)

All this talk of indie labels having jumped on board the DRM-free bandwagon… well, why isn’t Sleater-Kinney part of that deal? I’m thinking back to albums that I’ve actually bought over the past few years and The Woods is certainly one of the few.
