Royalties is a fee, paid either one time or via a license for multiple uses, that is paid by one person to use another person's creative works. For example, some online websites offer Photographs if a customer pays royalties to use the photo.

Other creative works might be the licensing of a song to be used in a TV or Radio commercial...or an actor / actress who receive royalties each time their likeness (an image of the person) is used.

To "avoid paying royalties" can mean that a person seeks free- non-royalty photos or creative works so that the customer gets "free use" without paying a fee. On the illegal and unethical side, to "avoid paying royalties" often means the potential buyer/customer has found some underhanded way to avoid paying any fee but still intends to use the item.

Because creative works are under copyright in the USA from the moment they are created, it is best to read Terms and Conditions of use and to pay all royalties.

What is an override on oil gas royalties?

An override is a percentage payout to an individual, usually the original owner (brokerage firm or such) of the mineral interest or mineral lease, that is paid after drilling and production costs are lessed from money made, yet prior to paying royalties. In other words, if production results in a $100 million gross profit and costs were $40 million and an individual had a 10% override, that individual would receive 10% or the remaining $60 million (i.e. $6 million) which would be paid prior to paying out royalties.
