Hot take
LATGA is Lithuania's primary collective rights management organization, serving as the guardian of copyright holders across multiple creative fields. Established in 1990, this non-profit, non-state organization advocates for Lithuanian authors while managing their rights in music, literature, audiovisual works, visual arts, and dramatic works. As a member of international bodies like CISAC and BIEM, LATGA operates exclusively within Lithuanian territory, collecting and distributing royalties to ensure creators can work with confidence. While they provide essential services for Lithuanian artists seeking compensation for their intellectual property, their limited territorial scope and traditional PRO structure may present challenges for globally-oriented creators in today's borderless digital landscape.
