Just in case you haven't heard of this yet, like I hadn't, here's a quick overview of UltraViolet. And a link to the Wikipedia page.
UltraViolet is a cloud-based digital rights locker for movies and television shows that allows consumers to store proofs-of-purchase of licensed content in an account to enable playback on different devices using multiple applications from several different streaming services. UltraViolet also allows users to share access to their library with up to five additional people. UltraViolet is deployed by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, an alliance of 85 companies that includes film studios, retailers, consumer electronics manufacturers, cable TV companies, ISPs, network hosting vendors, and other Internet systems and security vendors, with the notable exceptions of Disney, Google, Amazon.com and Apple.
Claudia was given a DVD recently with an UltraViolet code in it. We haven't signed up yet.

That's several generations beyond my current technology status.
Ultraviolet is a con devised by the film industry to keep you from actually owning the digital content you paid for.
OMG! More technology to keep up with! I'll leave it to Dee-Doh.
More techy stuff for me to stay away from. Enough already!
Interesting concept indeed, nice of you to share.
They set this up four our convenience. In other words, they get more control over the content.
