Once again, having a massive personal archive drive (with backups) proves to be the better strategy.

All purchased and UV-synced movies remain in users' accounts. The end of UV simply means they can't sync their purchases to other vendors.

Odd. Under the "After the shutdown date:" section:

"Your UltraViolet Library will automatically close and, in the majority of cases, your movies and TV shows will remain accessible at previously-linked retailers."

I wonder what is a minority case?

We're referring to the same thing. By user, I don't mean a UV user, I mean a (for example) Vudu user.

Don't remember to backup. I've had multiple drives fail (within 6 months!), luckily I always have at least 2 copies of my data.
