	Public Lending Right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Public Lending Right program compensates authors for the potential loss of sales from their works being available in public libraries.
		The first PLR program was initiated in Denmark in 1941, but because of the war was not properly active until 1946.
		Some PLR services are mandated solely to fund literary works of fiction, and some such as Norway, have a sliding scale paying far less to non-fiction works.

	The IFLA Position on Public Lending Right - Committee on Copyright and other Legal Matters (CLM)
		A second concept sometimes described as PLR, is a "remuneration right," which is the right of an author (not necessarily the copyright owner) to receive monetary compensation for the public lending of his or her work.
		Lending right should be rejected in the greater public interest in situations where a country can not afford to fund PLR without diverting resources earmarked to fund more fundamental public services.
		It is important that the PLR administration be run efficiently and not absorb too much of the funding in its costs, so that the maximum possible percentage of the remuneration fund goes to the eligible recipients and so that the administrative burden on the libraries is minimised or even made insignificant.

	Professional Issues - Consultation paper on changes to the Public Lending Right scheme
		PLR has now been part of the library scene for 20 years and, although modest in size, has achieved the necessary credibility within the sector to perform its task effectively and without fuss.
		Reduce duration of the PLR from 70 years after the author's death to 20 or 25 years - The Association is not persuaded of the benefits of this proposal, although we do appreciate the administrative burden of contacting the estates of authors, especially where rights to titles have been assigned to others.
		To increase the PLR fund to £6.9 million for the year 2000/1 - We understand that a budget of about £7 million is required to restore the real value of PLR's first budget in 1979, and especially to restore (and even increase) the real value of the rate per loan given to authors.

	Editorial - Volume Four, Issue Three (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In certain countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and Canada, there exists a public lending right ("PLR") in which authors who are citizens of these countries are paid from government funds for the lending of their print books from libraries.
		Where the PLR does exist, it has been helpful in ensuring authors are paid when their books are borrowed instead of purchased.
		The PLR is not required by any international copyright convention and therefore where the right does exist, countries are not obligated to extend it to citizens of convention countries.

	TRU lending
		Goldstein says, "Most countries that have adopted a public lending right have structured it as essentially a social welfare system...indeed, in these countries, to call the entitlement a "right" would be a misnomer" (GIC 3.2.3.I).
		TRU lending is treated by the 1992 E.C. Directive 92/100/EEC "on rental right and lending right and on certain rights related to copyright in the field of intellectual property".
		He also points out that TRU lending lacks "the quality of an intellectual property right in the sense that it is a right to control, or at least benefit from, the work's exploitation on some basis that approximates the work's success in the marketplace (GIC 3.2.4.2).

		Since it was established, the public lending right has provided the means by which the Government, on behalf of the library-using public, have been able to recognise the contribution that authors make to our lives.
		Under the PLR Act, an increase in the fund requires an order in a statutory instrument to be laid before the House of Commons and approved by resolution of the House before the start of the financial year in which the increase is to take place.
		We on the Conservative Benches fully support the PLR and the work it does, and we are encouraged by the fact that its running costs over the last few years have been kept under very tight control.
