    I agree.

    I think Disney Studios felt the DigitalCopy+ initiative would alleviate pressure for them to join DECE. I feel if that was their strategy it will backfire due to what you describe occurring.

    Many Disney die hard fans will be on-boarding to Vudu in the coming months.

    This will not lead to a decrease is pressure for Disney Studios to join DECE. It will increase the pressure.

    Yeah, I agree something needs to be done. I already started a thread in the feedback forum there if you want to add something about a Vudu section to it. The Sword in the Stone would have been added to the UV section regardless if I did it or not, there are 2 other entries for the same movie in it. Not sure if they'll do anything about all this but hopefully they will.

The UV logo is automatically added to the cover art of any UV submission. We add them as UV to keep track of our digital libraries along with our Blu-ray & DVD collections. Instead of removing them they should make a non UV submission section or just rename them Digital with the option to select UV if available.

    Thanks for the heart attack. No, really. It is a good way to start a Saturday.

    Sharp pain in the left arm. Rush of adrenaline. Fade to black followed by waking up on the floor staring at the ceiling with an unceasing pain in the chest.

    I am off to put some bleach in my eyeball and get a root canal. Tonight, I am going to top it off by sleeping on concrete.

    I posted on blu-ray.com asking that they be taken down if they aren't really going to be UV. I'll see if it happens.

    in the Vudu "Coming Soon" list, none of the ones which are on their radar are listed as UV.

    I think this is a case-closed...

    Hello. I am writing to ask why titles from your studio, and your studio alone, are not available in the Ultraviolet eco-system.

    Recently, DigitalCopy+ was released and Vudu who is a UV vendor, was made available. This was ironically hurtful. It indicated to me the decision for the studio to join DECE has been 'punted' into the future.

    Disney Studios is the last remaining major Hollywood studio who has not joined DECE. The failure to join DECE is leaving a format war in the iVoD market raging, much like what was present during the HD-DVD and Bluray Disc days.

    Disney studios ended that format war by going Bluray Disc exclusive. So too, Disney Studios can end this format war by joining DECE and going UV exclusive.

    I am a very loyal Disney movie customer. I wanted to inform you that I have suspended the purchase of any new titles until Disney Studios joins DECE.

    DigitalCopy+ including Vudu is not an appeasement to me.

    Sincerely,
    "
    So saith we all!

    Disney Studios going UV would cause a firestorm of press.

    Instead, we just have the sound of crickets...
    Another case in point.

    There is a good chance this is the case. People on other websites tend to put UV on anything that comes with a Vudu code. In their minds right now there are 2 types of digital copies. Itunes and UV so they fit it in to whatever category is closest.
