Dear Sally.

Revenue sharing with authors of articles published in scholarly
journals.  That's the part they leave out of copyright transfers for
most authors of academic journal  articles and chapters in scholarly
monographs . CCC for that stuff is just a little lagniappe for
academic journal and book publishers. Catnip so to speak.

If I remember correctly (no doubt someone will put me right if not), in the
UK journal photocopying income is shared between PLS and ALCS, and ALCS
distributes among those authors (of articles published less than 3 years
ago) registered with it;  you have to register to get any share of this
income.

In the USA, I believe, journal photocopying income goes to the publishers
who are required to distribute it to authors according to contract.

In the UK the ownership of the CLA is jointly between the Authors' Licensing
and Collecting Society and the Publishers Licensing Society. ALCS represents
two author groups and the PLS three publisher representative organisations.
I belong to the ALCS and in spite of the fact that I am hardly a major
academic I get enough each year to have at least 90 prints of beer a year (a
British measure). Maybe when you are a rightsholder you have to join up to
the CCC?

And some of that CCC income stream ends up in author's pockets ?  I don't
think so. I've got several articles CCC tracks. But never seen a cent.nor
ever heard of any author of articles who has. When i asked the publisher
assured me it wasn't large enough a source to warrant tracking it.
