Last time I bought from a site like those the movies stayed in my list for about 3 days and were removed. No refund.
I'm guessing the codes sold were obtained by using the Walmart instawatch scam (purchasing the movie for store pickup, getting the instawatch code on the receipt, using the code, return the movie unopened for a refund). I believe they don't do instawatch codes anymore

Yep. You can at least bet for anything that's Movies Anywhere redeemable. Nobody is hoping to make money from these movies anymore. They are just trying to eek out whatever is left. You might as do disc to digital if you're looking for movies this cheap.
Then maybe the artist, Story tellers, actors, etc…. Get something. Unless they're already multi millionaires, because there isn't anyone who didn't make it, that's getting royalties.
These are just as much as they spend to make a movie anymore comparative to the amount of consumption.
This just isn't worth the amount of effort if you have more means. IMO

Instawatch is/was a Vudu thing because Wal-mart owned Vudu and they did not work with iTunes, so that wouldn't be the case here.
That doesn't mean these aren't sketchy, however, I and many others have purchased plenty of codes from sellers like this and have not had problems. I believe some of these codes are stripped out of Blu-rays in other countries where the internet is not as prevalent or people are less interested in digital copies. I'm sure there's outright fraud or theft involved in some codes, though.
Wow another pop up shop digital code resellers. Don't forget these codes are usually split aka double redemption which third party resellers sell as a single code.
I think these are digital codes from Bluray disc that were bought in US to sell overseas. I have bought 200+ of these codes and sometimes they are scans of the digital code. However, this is not really a deal
Without looking at every store that OP listed, many of those are legit sites supported by uvspider.com. I've bought close to a hundred of these codes and never ran into any problems.
uvspider.com is the site I use. They don't sell codes, they just link you to sites that do. Anything "PRO" and/or "Instant" delivery is a solid site, at least in my own history.
Maybe you should create your own post instead of being a Debbie Downer and criticizing everything. Most people here are to get things for cheap, if you don't like getting the same movies for cheaper regardless of where the license originates, move on.
I like the fact that the poster categorized them as movie. I can figure out the rest from there.
I like deals but I never purchase anything from these places.
I've purchased from just about all of them. I was VERY hesitant at first, because, well... Internet, lol. But, after I shopped and purchased from a dozen or so with zero issues, I became a Believer in The Way of the Digi-Code Revolution!!

I wish Itunes didn't relegate their bonus content to just ICrap devices. Such a scumbag company
Edit: Mission Impossible: Fallout also gone
