  • WP3 Music & Society - harmonized data collection where needed

WP1 Slovak creators, including music creators, should earn as much as the European average. Their income should level up to German and Finnish levels.

WP2 Lithuanian people should find good Lithuanian music in Lithuania on Spotify, YouTube and the radio. Foreign labels must not increase their market share and colonize the local creative ecosystem.

Joining the European Union

  • Why should creators earn less than other skilled occupations and knowledge workers?
  • Why should artists get less paid than the average in Slovakia?
  • Why should Slovaks get paid less than the average European?

Why They Recommend American Music

  • Is the algorithm cheating? ➡️ trustworthy AI policy, enabling courts, competition and consuerm protection agencies to protect the Lithuanian CCIs
  • Is the algorithm learning from bad data? ➡️ national heritage policy, consolidate Lithuanian CCI data as linked, open data, and synch it daily with the world.
  • Can we ask for 20% Lithuanian music in radio, television, YouTube or Spotify?

  • AI is machine learning

Listen Local Lithuania
