- The movie industry is used to getting random articles changed when they don't like them.
- Moviefone doesn't even fact verify these requests before passing them on to journalists. But does word them innocuously enough that they have plausible deniability.
- TechCrunch had many choices of how to handle this. Their chosen strategy is apparently to blow any sign of manipulation public to let the rest of AOL know that they don't want to play these games with TechCrunch.
- I read an article (http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/12/the-source-code/) about a movie that I otherwise wouldn't have read, and found that Hollywood still appears to believe that Microsoft runs tech. As is evidenced by their using Microsoft Tags in their game rather than the industry standard QR codes.
