@dyske @karen Why should private radio stations play songs the government wants?

@matrix well, you have to abide the laws of coutry youâre in (or so they say). I mean the whole Slovakia is pretty much fucked up. There are far bigger bs laws than this.

@matrix originally they created it to âpromoteâ domestic artists, but the music quality is usually mediocre at best.

@matrix @dyske @karen It's to encourage local artists, industry, and culture rather than just play stuff from the Anglosphere and Russia. Canada has similar laws to help their music and film industries survive having the US next to them.

@mrsaturday @matrix @dyske if only local production didn't suck ass

@karen @mrsaturday @matrix yeah. Not to mention, when it comes to art subsidies, they are less than insufficient.

@karen @matrix @dyske That's the downside, you get government-subsidized shit played on the airwaves and no one tries to do better, just fill a quota
