Chuck,

Surely some CCC revenue ends up with authors, but CCC is not in a
position to know.  I am not defending (or attacking) CCC in saying
this; I'm simply trying to explain how it works.  CCC collects revenue
and remits a portion of that to the publishers of the content used.
CCC does not have access to the contracts that publishers have with
authors.  The CCC revenue is accounted for by publishers as subsidiary
rights income.  That income may or not be split (evenly or unevenly)
with authors.  It depends on the individual contract.  As a gross
generalization, most journal articles are not royalty-bearing for
authors, but most books are.  The number of exceptions and
qualifications to what I just wrote is endless.
