A2IM has commented on yesterday's IFPI report on labels' investment in music. A2IM President Rich Bengloff stated, "A2IM applauds the IFPI's 'Investing in music' report for noting that 'investing in music is the core mission of record companies and that no other party can lay claim a comparable role in the music sector'....and that 'No other party comes close to the levels of investment committed by record companies to developing, nurturing and promoting talent.' One of the biggest myths about the music industry in the digital age is that artists no longer need record labels. It is simply wrong. The investment, partnership and support that help build artist careers have never been more important than they are today"
