[lace] ALCS
In response to all the bad news about copyright problems I would like to
mention a positive product of copying: any UK author who registers with
the
Authors Licensing and Collecting Society receives an annual payment in
recognition of legal copying that takes place in libraries, schools,
universities and organisations such as the Lace Guild. I have no idea how
this
payment is calculated, but it is a pleasing sum that comes in each
February
(much more than the return from PLR - Public Lending Rights).
I too registered with ALCS back in 1993 when my book was first published and
am always surprised and delighted to receive notification of this small, but
as Gil said "pleasing" little sum.
