If you've ever purchased any imported records, SACDs, DVD-As or CDs then you are depriving U.S. labels of income. You should dispose of all imported music and replace it ONLY with U.S. manufactured alternatives (regardless of any real or imagined differences in sound quality) because you're funding European and Asian labels at the expense of U.S. labels.

Note: For the sake of discussion I'll give you the added advantage of limiting this to pressings that are or have been available from both U.S. and foreign labels rather than requesting that you divest yourself of all foreign titles (including those never offered in the U.S.), even though in the video realm my DVD & Blu-ray purchases are generally titles that aren't being made available over here at all.

If you aren't willing to do as I'm suggesting, then you're nothing but a hypocrite. Food for thought.
