Some more information from the Coinstar earnings call that is of interest.
Redbox has plans already in place to ensure that they will continue to stock Universal DVD releases on day 1 of their release, ensuring this legal situation will not affect their customers.

Then one more issue, you stated that you can’t comment on universal’s proposed change in their distribution policy because of the pending litigation and I totally understand that, but perhaps you can comment on that development a little bit more broadly. Have other studios indicated similar intentions or is this strictly a universal policy change at this point?

Thus far we haven’t heard from any other studio so at this point in time that action is just restricted to Universal.

Okay, and do you have a sense of when that distribution policy would take effect if they were successful in implementing it?
Brian Turner
As the lawsuit indicates, it’s December 1, and we already have figured out how to work with that and still have movies in the kiosks on the day of release, Universal movies, so we do not intend to let this slow us down.
This is great news for all of us. Also, they mention that no other studio has approached them with anything like this.

And, hopefully after Universal fails at their attempt, that will be the end of this kind of thing.
Why is it that they media companies just can’t give consumers what they want and stop being so greedy. I understand the need for profits, but times are changing and they need to change with them.
