copyright fees
Intellectual property charges
Copyright fees are payments made to use creative works protected by copyright—music, images, text, or other intellectual property.
A venue pays copyright fees to play recorded music; a publisher pays them to reprint an excerpt.
The fees compensate creators or rights holders for authorized use of their work: The documentary budget included substantial copyright fees for archival footage.
