These payments compensate creators for the free use of their work in library collections.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is a routine cost-of-living adjustment to ensure creators' library lending payments keep pace with inflation. It means slightly higher annual royalty payments for eligible book creators."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2002","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2002/documents"}}
