Why this is canonical

'Royalties' is a precise legal-commercial term for periodic compensation for the use of intellectual property. As agents increasingly generate, license, and distribute content autonomously, the question of who gets paid — and by what mechanism — names a genuine structural gap. The .ai TLD situates this squarely in the agent economy.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI content licensing
An automated royalty-distribution layer for creators whose work is used to train, fine-tune, or prompt AI agents.
Content licensing platforms, music rights organizations, publishing and media companies building AI compensation frameworks
Agent marketplace economics
The revenue-sharing and royalty engine for a marketplace where agents are licensed, deployed, or monetized by third parties.
AI agent marketplace builders, developer platforms with revenue-sharing models

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
