No, we actually own the things the movie is on. We own the movie they're way, but we still own it. Don't try to legitimize giving up our right to own things, one of the rights women had to fight to earn!

It's used to stream the films you've uploaded directly to your VUDU-enabled devices, which could be very handy if it's true that it's "forever" as they claim. Most of the general public doesn't even know how to rip a DVD let alone upload it to a cloud device they can access from anywhere on multiple devices. You also have the option to upgrade your DVD to a virtual HD copy without having to buy a whole new disc.

One thing about these digital copies in iCloud is the fact that not all of my past digital copy movies show up there. I wonder if this is something that will be different in the future or if they'll always just have a pre-determined amount that will be available.

Which brings us to the bigger question of everything in life... why is the general public so incredibly stupid and uneducated about everything?
