The likes of Samsung, HP, Nokia, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Intel and Best Buy are among the tech world leaders already signed up, with the simple aim of selling us all digital downloads that “just work” across all the many and varied online store services regardless of who you actually gave your money to—and if you’re watching your purchased movie on your TV, PC or smartphone.
