Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead 2019.09.09 Public lending rights (PLR) refer to the rights authors, and other original content creators have in regards to books that are loaned to the public by institutions like public libraries. PLR is a credit-type right to claim compensation in order to make up for losses the content creator may face due to the lending of their book by libraries to the public. It is not a real proprietary right that has the power to permit or ban the use of the published work itself. Countries that have adopted PLR Nearly all the countries that have PLR are in Europe because the program implementation was made mandatory as part of a European Community (EC) agreement. PLR was first adopted by Denmark in 1946 and enforced by other European countries slowly after then. As of August 2019, 33 countries around the world have implemented this program (some state 35 countrie...
