Royalties: Royalties is where artists can licence their music for a fee. This means anyone that wants to use or listen to the music will have to purchase it to use it.

Copyright: Copyright Act is where people use this act so nobody can steal their work and claim it as theirs. For example if someone has made a new song and another person likes the songs and want to use it they would have to ask permission first to use the song if it is copyrighted but if it isn't they wouldn't need to ask permission for the song because it isn't copyrighted.
