Textbook publisher. Will be hurt by students scanning, uploading, and downloading their textbooks online (such as from Textbook Torrents) as well as an increasing move to open courseware (such as MIT's OpenCourseWare). Will be hurt in the long run.

The credit rating system is broken, the few companies that play this game have perverse incentives to inflate credit ratings, as we all know now....
