Re: Keychest Shutdown - UV, iTunes, Amazon Left
I'm not at all a DMA will win person. I just don't see this as a UV or DMA choice. There is room for both, though like the commenter above noted, I would really like to see at most a minimal number of choices out there so the market doesn't get fragmented and so we don't wind up having to install dozens of apps to access our libraries.
I am a fan of Vudu (otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here with nearly 800 films in my library at this point, including more than a couple of Disney films). I'd like to see Vudu get their act together and improve their apps and get them on more platforms (Windows 8, for Windows 8 tablets as an example really screams for an app. The app on the iPad screams for a search feature, or at least a sort feature for people with large libraries, etc.)
Meanwhile, if Disney is successful, then it isn't the end of the world just as it wasn't the end of the world when Blu-ray 'defeated' HD DVD in the marketplace (though that was certainly a case where the loser had to disappear so the market wouldn't continue to be fragmented).
