Ultra-what now?

UltraViolet is Shutting Down on July 31st, Here’s How to Transfer Your Movies

If you’re thinking “What’s an Ultraviolet?” you’re not alone, it seems. Another chapter in the saga of ‘Legacy Entertainment Industry Shouts At The Cloud’ comes to an end…

UltraViolet was all but the de-facto method for digital copies of your movies for years. Unless it was a Disney movie, chances are if you bought a disc that came with a digital code, that code was for the UltraViolet service. But all that changed when Disney unveiled Movies Anywhere, an expansion of its Disney Movies Anywhere service. Combined with the might of Amazon Video, Google Play, Vudu, and others, Movies Anywhere became an unbeatable service, as evidenced in part by this shutdown notice.
