It ensures that the compensation authors receive for library lending keeps pace with inflation. The PLR scheme recognizes that when libraries lend books freely to the public, authors lose potential sales revenue, so the government pays them a small fee for each copy held in library collections."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2001","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2001/documents"}}
