Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem

The Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE LLC) is a consortium of major film studios, consumer electronics manufacturers and retailers, networking hardware vendors, systems integrators, and Digital Rights Management (DRM) vendors. The consortium was announced in September 2008 by its president, Mitch Singer, also the chief technology officer (CTO) of Sony Pictures Entertainment. DECE was chartered to develop a set of standards for the digital distribution of premium Hollywood content.[1] The consortium intends to create a set of rules and a back-end system for the management of those rules that will enable consumers to share purchased digital content between a domain of registered consumer electronics devices.[2]

DECE's digital locker system is named UltraViolet.[3][4]

Amazon, Apple, Disney, and Google are not members of DECE. In February 2014, Disney launched its own digital locker system named Keychest and an associated streaming platform named Disney Movies Anywhere. In October 2017, Disney expanded Keychest to outside studios and renamed Disney Movies Anywhere to Movies Anywhere. Movies Anywhere currently connects to Amazon Video, FandangoNOW, Google Play, the iTunes Store, Microsoft Movies & TV, and Vudu.
