Copyright can refer to an evolving series of intellectual property laws, designed to protect original works of authorship. It can also mean the action of registering a copyright on a particular work. Royalties are payments that are made to a rights holder when an authorized copy of their work is sold/used.
Patents give the owner the right to use or sell a technology, invention or product. Violations of that patent can be challenged in court.
A royalty is an agreed percentage of profits and proceeds paid to pre-named beneficiaries in a legal agreement. Commonly musicians, writers, artists and software engineers gain royalties when their brands or products are mentioned or used by someone else.
For example a TV show would have to pay royalties to use extended pieces of Elton John's music.
The Copyright Royalty Board is a three-member panel appointed by the Librarian of Congress to adjust terms and rates of royalty payments.
They are not the same now
Nothing, they are both royalty.
Owning an image or the copyright to an image are the same thing. When you hold the copyright to an image it is yours to do with whatever you will, and you can decide who has permission to use it or not. There is no difference.
Royalty now is almost always bound by a constitution limiting their power, and giving most power to an elected Parliament or Congress, whereas Royalty 1000 years ago generally had unlimited power.
previous answer violated copyright
There is virtually no difference; term of protection is still based on the dates of the artist.

It might not seem that there is much of a difference between royalty free photos and projectiles but you might be surprised. Royalty free photos will not require any type of payment. There will be a payment for the use of projectiles. Royalty free is exactly what that means- royalty free. Projectiles will have to be bought and paid for before use.

I assume you are asking the difference between plagiarism & copyright infringement. While both are essentially the use of someone elses work without permission, the most significant difference is that plagiarism also involves claiming that material as your own work.
