The administrative body (the Department of Communications and the Arts) will apply these new rates when calculating annual entitlements.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis indexation ensures that creators continue to receive fair compensation when their works are made available for free public borrowing, maintaining the real value of this cultural support program."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2003","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2003/documents"}}
