Zediva Forced to Layoff DVD-changing Monkeys
It's official! We received an email from Zediva saying that they were closing up shop. They hint that they may be back but also state that they may never be back as well. If you have a credit with them, like we do. They say hang on while they figure out what to do. Hmm...

Dear Zediva Member,
You may have heard by now that we're having to lay off our DVD-changing monkeys... :-)
A couple of years ago we came up with an idea for the next generation of DVD rentals. It seemed to us logical and evolutionary that if a customer was able to rent and play a DVD in his home, there should be no reason why he or she could not do that from the Internet cloud. After all, you can do that with a DVR, so why not with a DVD player?
Well, it turns out to have been a little more complicated than that ...
We are suspending Zediva's operations to comply with an order by the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
While we hope to be back online soon, we don't know when (or whether) that will happen. We are disappointed by this turn of events, and that we are not permitted to serve you.
We are quite aware that some of you have unused credits with us and appreciate your patience as we figure out our next steps. Stay tuned for more information via email.
Thank you again for your great support. It has been a blast serving you.
Regards,
The Zediva Team
