Subscription charges for access to copyrighted databases and online journals are not royalty where users may only search, view and display content for personal use. Access that confers no right to reproduce, amend, replicate or commercially exploit content does not amount to use of, or a right to use, copyright; it is consideration for a copyrighted article or product.
