    I rarely have purchased from Fandango because purchases tend to not show up in the regular video libraries online the way they do when buying from Vudu. That feature of Vudu has kept me coming back and buying content from Vudu for years. It's especially handy when you want to watch a title that will fill an ultrawide monitor, using an app that will "stretch to fill" instead of getting black-boxed all the way around the video.

    Already taken the money I would have spent the past 2 months on vudu and upgraded my NAS. Ripping my physical like a madman during this lockdown business, regardless of what FandangoNow does in a year or two - I'm ready.

    No, because you didn't purchase anything. In the ToS, it's a rental. You have zero legal recourse. The only choice you have as a consumer, if you don't care for how FandangoNow treats their customers, setup your own media server or use another service instead.

    Vudu has a binding arbitration clause, which the Supreme Court approved and why every company has moved towards them. There won't be any class action suits. It's referenced in the first paragraph of the TOS and how I knew that person hadn't even bothered skimming it.

    But note that the terms of service must also conform under state and federal law so in other words retailers cannot place whatever they wish in their TOC. This will only become an issue if there was a substantial loss of digital ownership across the board. When you press 'BUY' there will be certain implied rights to the consumer via judges. Even if the TOC says that ownership rights can be reclaimed at any time I am sure the courts will call B.S. on that one. It would take extreme reasons for a copyright owner or major retailer to reclaim films and take away from those that purchases -even as easy as it is to do in a digital realm.

    Now, if you purchased your Non-MA film from a 'flimsy' retailer that goes out of business. .... well, then your probably lost your movies.

    That's true. It's just I make extra spending money online, and by redeeming points, the only real option to buy digital movies is redeeming for a Walmart gift card.
    I hear ya. I use Fetch Rewards app to acquire Walmart GC's that I put straight into Vudu. Bad enough WM took away the Savings Catcher, I used to cash in big time with that.
    If you aren't aware, Google Opinion Rewards gives Google Play cash, I manage to get an MA title @ GPlay about every six weeks or so.

    FandangoNow bought Vudu to compete to Apple and Disney's MA. FandangoNow website and support system are pure hot garbage and they needed something before they went under. They get the recognition and brand of a well known company. Two schools of thought is they will scrap the vudu name and rebrand it as FandangoNow and keep the Vudu infrastructure or Scrap the FandangoNow name and integrate Vudu into Fandango (which I think will happen). It also give them a launching platform to go after Movies Anywhere down the road which Disney launching Disney+. They probably would be more then willing to sell Movies Anywhere now. Anyways just my thoughts

    Just made a complete list on bluray.com of all my MA and non-MA titles, organized on separate lists so I can tell if/when anything is missing. would suggest you all do the same. Also going to keep buying 4K discs of my favorite movies. I am near 400 movies and 20 tv shows on vudu now so storage and quick access is important thats why i use vudu. will probably start using apple tv soon as well

    That being said, would anyone here be willing to pay for a monthly or annual subscription, say $5 a month or $60 a year, to access your digital library if that meant keeping Fandango/ Vudu in business? I own about 450 titles on Vudu, not as much as many here, but more than half of those are not on Movies Anywhere.
    This has always been a risk since the beginning of UV. I remember it being in the terms and conditions of UV - its just that retailers knew that charging a monthly fee would kill it off. I would say this about the risk of a monthly fee - I would dare Vudu/Fandangonow to do it on their own. It would be the death of them.

    Why? Because people would simply stream their MA movies from another provider. The non-MA titles are the issue of course. It would be a massive gamble.
