cry for the mouse

in case you wondered, big media makes less money selling digital copies of movies and whatnot rather than physical dvd's. all told, about 12% less. yup, a whole 12% adjustment for what amounts to a paradigm shift - the kind of major culture change that typically makes entire industries (hey, remember the telegraph?) disappear. so we can't help snickering a bit at this clip's headline:

digital threat prompts movie industry downgrade

so would you call that spin, eye-candy exploitation, or outright media buggery?

(we love linking buggery with the mouse, even tangentially. it makes us feel all dirty. kinda like how they handled the rights to winnie the pooh.)
