spam tag, cleanup

I added the spam tag, then decided to spend the time and clean it up myself. So I removed it when I was done. You can see the major changes on this diff. Notes:

Removed "information management". Seems "audience measurement" is more specific.
Pared down the key people to the most notable; it could be argued only the CEO is worth listing.
Distilled the products. Unless there are some notable sources, it seems to be (a) a middleman for smaller video rental shops, and (b) audience measurement services for video/movie/games/TV.

What needs to be added:

More about the lease/pay-per-transaction service. This is apparently where the company came from, and might be the largest part of the business.
More wikilinks. Certainly there's a better term (and perhaps a wiki page) for the pay-per-transaction/leasing service.
References. Something other than press releases, corporate page, and so on.
