Has anyone ever heard of the Copyright Clearance Center?
I'm currently working for someone who's had several technical books
published, and he recently received a check for around $250 from this
organization. According to the enclosed material, this is royalties
for non-specific copying in Netherlands, Germany, and Spain, where
photocopy license fees are charged.
On the face of it, this looks like free money. Does anyone know if
there's any catch we might be missing?
Their web site, by the way, is www.copyright.com.
