royalties  

Definition

  • Royalties are due if music is licensed by an author, composer, and songwriter to a third party for further exploitation, for example, to produce records in order to sell them. The concept of royalties emerged around 1900, when the mechanical reproduction of music enabled the mass dissemination of records.
