    Why can't we transfer Ultraviolet titles?

    If the studios behind Ultraviolet really want widespread adoption we need the option to transfer titles we don't want to other people.

    If I have a physical disc I can sell or give it to another person. Frustrating that I can't do that with UVVU titles I own.

    (Yes I know I can "eGift" a title. That's not the issue.)

    As far as I am aware, unlike physical media, digital goods do not fall under the first-sale doctrine. While it should, in theory, be fairly simple to implement such a system (UV or otherwise), no one seems interested in doing so.

      That seems to the be problem...nobody seems interested in doing anything to either fix UV issues or make value-added enhancements to UV.

        This is one of my most hoped for features of the UV system. They stress that with UV, you own it. Well, if you own it, you should be able to give it to someone or sell it. Here's an example of where that feature is needed. I had a shared account with a friend, and they added some titles, and that was okay for a while. But then he started adding a bunch of horror movies that I didn't want my wife or children to have access to. So I had to separate our accounts. But when I did, he lost access to a lot of movies that he had added to my account. So I deleted them from my account, but then I had to pay again to add them back to his account. If we could tranfer titles between accounts, it would be wonderful.

          Agreed. If we "own" it, we should be able to trade or sell them. Buying a digital copy costs nearly as much as purchasing a Blu Ray package that includes the UV code.

            Truth be told, buying the digital copy is often far more expensive than buying the Blu-Ray. Blu-Rays often go on sale, or one store has it cheaper than another. If one guy has it for 19.99, another store might be selling it for 17.99. For Ultraviolet, it's a uniform price across the board. If Vudu is selling it for 19.99, then you can bet that Target Ticket or another service has it at the exact same selling point.

            Captasin America: The Winter Soldier hits Blu-Ray today. The 3D/Digital HD combo pack is selling at Target for 19.99. That is a Blu-Ray, a 3D Blu-Ray, and the Digital Copy all for 19.99. Here on Vudu the Digital Copy alone (minus the discs) is 22.99. It's cheaper to buy the film on Disc and redeem the Digital Copy than it is to just buy the Digital Copy alone. That makes zero sense.

            I love Digital Media, but price points are the one major thing holding it back. It's the same with Digital Comics on Comixology. The day they go on sale, they cost the same cover price as a physical book bought in the store. Why? There are no printing costs attached to that Digital file....it should be cheaper. The same with a Digital HDX copy of a film. They didn't have to manufacture a blu-ray case, a physical plastic disc, print out the cover, etc....there are none of the costs attached with printing up the physical items and yet it's the same price or more expensive.
