This modification makes two small adjustments to increase payment rates to keep pace with inflation:\n\n*   **Holding payments**: Increases the rate paid to creators for each of their books held in public libraries from **$1.34 to $1.37** per book.\n*   **Loan payments**: Increases the rate paid based on the estimated number of times books are borrowed from **33.5 cents to 34.25 cents** per loan.\n\nThese are routine technical updates that ensure authors continue to receive fair compensation as the cost of living changes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2004","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2004/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2004/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2004/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2004/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2004/documents"}}
