From what I understand, HMV sells CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, Ecksbawks 360 games, and other loosely related bric-a-brac. I say 'sells' but I think that you're a savvy-enough internet user to know that they probs don't 'sell many units' - due to the wonderful world of online piracy.
(Not that we'd know anything about that - right, niggas?)
"In order to remain in business we must diversify.
We must do literally anything to make £££." - Company News Letter
"Give a man a HMV giftcard.
He will buy something.
Give a man uncapped broadband (from an ISP that doesn't send pissypants copywrite infringement letters) and he will DL.
Everything." - A Haiku © 2013
HMV's been 'an effing disgrace' to highstreets everywhere for years now.
They're really on the ropes :-( sadface.
Sort of feel like we need to take the final push and put the HMV out of its misery.
Metaphorically 'put it out to pasture'.
Metaphorically 'unplug the life support'.
Metaphorically _____.
Sort of feel that HMV and other primitive highstreet entertainment business models have been 'playing sillybuggers' with my wallet for years. (Selling me the same content over and over again with diff format / bonus disk / stoopid concept art book / plastic crappy collectible figurine nigga / fancypants packaging / soundtrack CD / superduper box set situation.)
Sort of feel that NOW is the time to strike back for great justice.
We must utterly destroy them.
But we must also show delicate compassion.
What do YOU think the best way to do this is?

What do YOU think the best way to do this is?
- Bargain Bin Tax?
- Some sort of thing where we all lay down in the doorway and block the entrance? We could call it Surround Sound Day?
- Annual Anti-Record Store Day? (On this day - we don't even go into music shops to browse new releases / Soundhound MP3s / plan our torrent activity for later - we just boycott them entirely.)
- Throw things?
- 'Hurtful' language?
- Premeditated and inorganic social media campaign?
- Take our CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays back and DEMAND refunds >>> empty the tills?

Gtg. I'm going to check the latest releases / browse the 'golden oldies' to see if anything 'leaps off of the shelves at me'. (This is for unrelated market research and absolutely nothing to do with my p2p activity for later this evening.)

The only reason I go to hmv is to see what there is to download. I think Surround Sound Day is a great idea!
