  - true, but engadget had an article on this. it costs pennies a year to host it on the cloud. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 11:13 3
    - For me it would be because I'm not going through the hassle of setting up a media server and burning copies of everything. - spamlet Mar 14, 11:24 1
      - i have that server, but i would love to have them in the cloud (or at least specific ones) but yeah, i want more than 1 year guarantee. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 14, 11:27
    - If this turns into a profitable business model for companies, there's gonna be a real crack down on home ripping of discs. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Mar 14, 11:17
Ultraviolet DRM through Vudu. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Mar 14, 11:01 3
- And streaming, not copied to the device AFAIK -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 11:01 2
  - I looked at the terms and Ultraviolet only guarantees one year of streaming rights. - spamlet Mar 14, 11:11 1
