Hi:

When you buy a share of stock none of the money goes to the underlying comp=
any.  The only way for that to happen is if=20
you buy at the Initial Public Offering.
In a similar way when you buy a used or remainder book none of the money go=
es to the author.  That only happens if you=20
buy a new book from a reseller.
There was a law suit about Google offering pdf files of books that were sti=
ll within copyright and it was settled so=20
that Google would no longer give them away for free.  It's my understanding=
 there there's a pool of money but the=20
decendents of the authros are all dead or don't know how to claim what's ow=
ed them.

There's a similar problem with state held Unclaimed Property.
In California you can search for your state held money at:
