If it was the thread I'm thinking of then it wasn't an implication, it was a statement of fact... UK has PLR (Public Lending Right) and payments accumulate per borrowing (up to an annual limit of £6,600 @ 5.98p/loan) paid annually for accumulated amounts in excess of £1.00 - authors need to apply/register.

If the author is not paid each time in the U.K., then I've lost all interest in my own question.
