Will Amazon ever partner with UV?

The reason I can agree is that the front end vendors, like amazon, google and Microsoft all work with it. But that could be solved by them integrating with UV also...

As you said, DMA leaves sharing up to the providers. iTunes and Google Play have family sharing that includes DMA.

Vudu should think about changing the way they do sharing to include non UV items (which are not just limited to Disney).

UV sharing could also stand to be more user friendly; the ability to implement sharing has been removed from the UV web site and there have been issues with setting up sharing through Vudu. They have also apparently imposed a lifetime limit of 5 or 6 linked accounts (meaning if you drop one sharer that does not open up a new spot).

At this point in the game, at least in part because of D2D, Free2d and M2D along with the constant supply of Vudu credits I believe there is little motivation for any of the existing major players to join UV, where users have built up large libraries that they would then have to support. The best bet was early on, but that did not happen. Time will tell
