About

FIMI collects and publishs sector data and research, both nationally and internationally, to allow companies to know the trend and development of the market. Associated companies can access to economic data and studies carried out by the most important research companies.

FIMI promotes and participates in conferences and seminars about topics of particular interest to associated companies, guiding and assisting its members in the current structural review of the sector. Members periodically receive news and circulars relating to the most important economic, technological and legislative developments in the sector. All members also receive a sector press review on a daily basis and an in-depth newsletter on a monthly basis.

FIMI provides the official weekly "Top of the Music" charts about music sales in Italy, thanks to a monitoring system developed with GfK Italia, which supervises the sales of albums and compilations (physical and online), digital singles (singles and premium streaming) and vinyls. Furthermore, FIMI releases official awards of albums and digital singles with reference to the national market every week. All the aforementioned activities are managed and supervised by FIMI through the integrated management of relationship channels with stakeholders and users, both online and offline in order to promote the value of the industrial sector it represents.

Through FPM, the Italian Federation against music and multimedia piracy, of which FIMI is a founding member, the associated companies can report piracy and counterfeiting episodes and receive assistance in copyright protection activities. FPM cooperates and assists the police, the judiciary and the customs agency in the fight against piracy and counterfeiting of record products.

FIMI assists and protects associated companies in the process of trade union negotiation (employment contracts, copyright general permits, agreements, etc.). The associated companies themselves access the agreements entered into by FIMI with the Ministry of Economic Development for the promotion of the Italian record industry abroad.

The associates can consult FIMI in relation to legal issues concerning the protection of copyright, social security issues and relations with the society of authors and publishers.
