What is the difference between AIM and the BPI?
The BPI is a trade association for all UK record companies, including the majors. AIM operates solely in the interests of the independent sector, which has issues quite different to those of the majors. AIM works to give the indies a voice, and to create a level playing field for them to compete. Members of AIM can join the BPI and vice versa, and the two organisations work together on various campaigns.
