Disney has sued Redbox in an attempt to stop the DVD rental company from selling digital copies of its movies. It charges between $7.99 and $14.99 for slips of paper with the codes to download Disney films such as “Cars 3” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
Redbox is only offering digital copies of Disney movies because it doesn’t have a distribution arrangement with the studio and buys retail copies of its discs to rent to customers. Those retail DVDs come with digital download codes. Redbox receives special copies of DVDs and Blu-ray discs from other studios with which it has deals that don’t contain digital codes.
