Last Chance: Hollywood's Ultraviolet Shutting Down July 31st

Are you one of those early adopters who opted for all digital purchases of Hollywood movies, using Ultraviolet? In a strike for digital ownership, Ultraviolet is shutting down on July 31st--only three days from now--meaning that if you do not shift your Ultraviolet television shows and movies to a specific retailer such as Vudu, those titles will be gone--forever. Ultraviolet was Hollywood's first attempt at a "digital locker" which theoretically would allow consumers to purchase digital copies of movies and have access to them any time -- those Ultraviolet codes (which often were sold along with Blu-ray and DVD disks)--had allowed users to stream those movies online or on their mobile devices.
