What is a license and why is this important in entertainment?

What will be an ideal response?


A license is a formal grant of the right to use copyrighted material by the author (license) and usually is conditioned upon a payment of a fee (known as a royalty) for the right to use by the licensee. This is very important in entertainment, obviously, especially in light of music and video piracy which avoid paying license fees altogether, albeit illegally.
