Just a couple of months after the restoration of Lithuania's independence, a group of authors foresaw the need to establish an organization representing the interests of creators. The authors realized that a national collective copyright management community was the most important thing in order to create an environment that allowed creativity to flourish. The Association LATGA, established in 1990 on the initiative of various creative unions, now unites around 6,000 Lithuanian authors of various works and represents many authors around the world on the basis of cooperation agreements.
