Amie Street was an indie online music store and social network service created in 2006 by Brown University seniors Elliott Breece, Elias Roman, and Joshua Boltuch, in Providence, Rhode Island.[4] The site was notable for its demand-based pricing. The company was later moved to Long Island City in Queens, New York.[5] In late 2010, the site was sold to Amazon who redirected customers to their own website.[6]
