That study has to do with blockbuster movies and not purely digital goods. I am guess that things like ebooks and video games behave very differently. I heard of stories of AAA devs saying they can tell when a crack was released because their sales took a nose dive.

It is not limited to them: "the study’s conclusion: With the exception of recently released blockbusters.."
