The government uses statistical sampling to estimate how often books are borrowed, then pays creators these set rates as compensation for the free public use of their work."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2006","history":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2006/history","analysis":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2006/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2006/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2006/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/public-lending-right-scheme-1997-modification-no-1-of-2006/documents"}}
