Amazon.com Inc. declined to comment on Monday on a report in Advertising Age magazine that it would launch a movie download business in mid-August.
Speculation has swirled for months that Amazon is working on a digital download service that would allow consumers to download and copy popular movies and television programs.
Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in March that the company was in advanced talks with several major Hollywood studios.
A spokesman for the Seattle-based company wrote in an e-mail to Reuters that it does not comment “on speculation or rumor.”
