U.S. movie streaming Zediva sued for copyright violation

The United States based online movie rental service provider Zediva was sued for copyright violation. The suit was filed by six Hollywood studios represented by Motion Picture Association of America before the Los Angeles federal court. The complainants have alleged that Zediva's operations violate the studios' right to "publicly perform" their works. The complaint states that the company doesn't ship DVDs to customers through the mail. Zediva's discs sit in players at the company's Silicon Valley data center, and the movies are played on-demand whenever a customer places an order. The complaints are seeking the court to order Zediva to stop its online film service and pay 150,000 dollars for every movie streamed.
