Ever since Amazon announced it was considering raising the price of Prime subscriptions, customers of the gargantuan online marketplace have been very vocal about their disapproval. Increasing the price of a service without adding any value is typically grounds for outrage on the Internet, but Amazon might be looking into a solution to appease its subscribers.

With movies, TV and music all streaming from one website, Amazon would be an even more dangerous competitor than it already is, but one insider says that the company is having difficulty nailing down a price to pay the labels. We’ll be watching for any official news from Amazon on the subject.
