DECE's 'digital locker' take-anywhere DRM, UltraViolet, launches later this year

We're still not sure if we believe in the promises made by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) yet -- buy a piece of content once in physical or digital format, and gain access across all formats and devices via a cloud based account -- but we're closer to finding out for ourselves now that it has a new name, UltraViolet.
Adobe and Sony are members, according to the press release. Wonder if this will extend to ebooks.

I'm not excited by "cloud-based content." I like having my stuff on my own computer, backed up.

Am not a fan of the cloud. Yes, it is cool that you can access it everywhere, but it sucks that you have to have a constant internet connection, plus usually you have to view it through a web browser (which will give a lackluster experience with certain types of media).

Agreed.

Now if I can have the cloud as a secondary method of accessing my content I might be interested in some version of 'the cloud', but only if it's additional to having my own copy locally.

The only thing I could add to that is that cloud only would be fine for free stuff.

And when they decide that they no longer wish you to own the digital content - poof!

Nope. The whole premise of DRM is that we are not allowed to OWN that which we PURCHASE.

Our files are in the cloud until they decide to go with a new encryption scheme and tell us we're out of luck go rebuy everything.
