As a follow-up to my recent post about the threatened cuts to the Public Lending Right, I was happy to get an email this afternoon from the Society of Authors telling me about a petition they’ve organised with other groups to defend PLR from cuts. I’ve signed the petition and would urge other writers, or any other people who think writers should get a small amount of money when their books are borrowed from the library, to sign it as well.

One Response to PLR petition

  1. Magazines charge libraries higher fees for subscriptions, because they know multiple users will read the magazine. Maybe publishers should look at how magazines figure out their fee structure and charge accordingly.
