LOVEFiLM closing.

TV Tech Crunch reports:

"According to local press, LOVEFiLM Sweden sent emails to users alerting them of the service’s planned shutdown there. It will cease services and begin shutting down its website within the next 30 days, and has asked users to return DVDs."

Lovefilm's closing in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, which is worrying to say the least. Like the Greek government closing their version of the BBC, it's one of those stories which looks like something which couldn't happen here until you remember that nothing lasts forever. I imagine there's someone just like me in Sweden right now wondering how the hell they'll cope, just as I'll wonder the same thing should the worst ever happen.
