This modification updates the payment rates—likely to account for inflation or cost-of-living adjustments—to ensure creators continue receiving fair compensation for library use of their work."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-1999","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-1999/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-1999/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-1999/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-1999/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-1999/documents"}}
