19 Jan 2012 AIM Launches Campaign Against Break-Up and Sale of EMI- AIM members are actively supporting the UK industry calls for a review of the proposed break-up and sale of EMI Music, and are launching a campaign to inform constituency MPs about this vital issue.

AIM's position is that the proposed sale of EMI threatens further damage so great that it must be reviewed and resisted by the UK Coalition Government with the full support of the Opposition on what really should not be a Party issue.Average rating:
