Oh, try telling an anime fan about the value of "A disk on the shelf is worth ten in the clouds"--Jason_V said:The point is the same: had this person bought the disc and put it on the shelf, this would not be a problem. But no...the world is heck bent on moving totally toward streaming. This is what you get and EXACTLY my main argument against killing physical media.
You'd lose, of course--because streaming is based on the central commandment that Studios Can Do Whatever They Want if the movie's in their hands, not yours--but BOY, would we love the press to get a hold of an Internet-fear/Streaming-mania headline like that and go headless-chicken over it overnight.Sam Posten said:I pray they pull this bullshit with me cause I would be the lead in a class action lawsuit faster than you can say 'DRM'.
I agree with you and that's exactly how it went down last time it was an issue on iTunes. But amazon specifically says they fought this one with Disney and were told 'too bad'.Mark-P said:The more I think about it, I've come to the conclusion that this is an Amazon screw-up rather than a Disney one. The studios can put titles on moratorium whenever they like, but that should not affect previous purchases. In other words Amazon should have pulled the availability for new rentals or purchases but left access for previous purchases.
Joshua Clinard said:This is happening far too frequently for Amazon. Why I won't buy from them. That is until they get with the ultraviolet standard. There hasn't been one report that I remember about an UltraViolet retailer removing a film from someone's library.
http://homemediamagazine.com/digital-copy/fox-anchor-bay-adopt-dolby-digital-ultraviolet-releases-32095Dolby Laboratories Dec. 12 said Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Anchor Bay Entertainment now encode movies and TV programs in the UltraViolet common file format (CFF) using Dolby Digital Plus.
With the launch of UltraViolet CFF for downloads, Digital HD titles from Fox and Anchor Bay will feature surround sound from Dolby Digital Plus available on platforms CinemaNow, Target Ticket, and Vudu.
CFF represents an upgrade for UltraViolet in that it allows users to transfer UV titles between consumer electronics devices. Currently, UV titles must be downloaded individually to CE devices, including connected TVs.
Not totally. Many perfer to purchase and "download to own" our items to our server.Jason_V said:The point is the same: had this person bought the disc and put it on the shelf, this would not be a problem.

I get what you mean, but the way to avoid any potential problem is to have the disc on the shelf or on your own server, as you pointed out. I don't trust anything I don't have in my hands (or in my possession).Towergrove said:Not totally. Many perfer to purchase and "download to own" our items to our server.
As for the studios, they say all the time on the commercials "Own it today on Digital HD"... key word here is "OWN". also on the Walmart Vudu site it says buy and "store forever in the cloud". Forever is a long time.
You can "OWN" real estate, or you can build a house on it and live in it.Towergrove said:As for the studios, they say all the time on the commercials "Own it today on Digital HD"... key word here is "OWN". also on the Walmart Vudu site it says buy and "store forever in the cloud".
Hehe so true. Love your way of thinking Ejanss.Ejanss said:You can "OWN" real estate, or you can build a house on it and live in it.
