HMV Canada is fine... for now anyway

Definite sign of the times when yesterday seemingly every Canadian news outlet ran the story about HMV going into 'administration' (as they must call it in the UK) and not bothering to mention that the Canadian stores are under different ownership. This link has been updated since yesterday, but I imagine that some damage has already been done.

This is what happens when understaffed/intern-staffed newsrooms simply pick up wire stories from Reuters and publish them verbatim on their websites.

I just can't help but note the ironic congruity of two outdated media services - newspapers and brick-and-mortar music stores - swirling down the tubes together.
