From the instructions:"If you have more than three rental real estate or royalty properties, complete and attach as many Schedules E as you need to list them.

If you use the "royalty per side" model of the big franchises, you'd have to sell $203.8M in homes to achieve $250K in royalty revenue to your investor.

I would have treated you like royalty.

Not only for privacy but lack of any royalties that might be due for others profiting on the videos!    

This applies to earned income (such as wages and tips) as well as unearned income (such as interest, dividends, capital gains, pensions, rents, and royalties).

However, I too am still a little confused as to why Schedule E is labeled with the following verbage on top, "From rental real estates, royalties, partnerships, S corporations, estates, ...)"

There was also a Royalty fee as well. 

would have ZERO legal income from within USA, but who knows, they could be filthy rich royalty back home!

I've found over the years that gas or oil in OK and TX are often capped sometimes for years depending on demand and costs or production is limited and royalties aren't what is usually expected, you're not in control but hey, some can be nice.

Interesting that in this US News and World Report article about sources of retirement income, Rents and Royalties are listed last.http://finance.yahoo.com/focus-retirement/article/109508/the-10-biggest-sources-of-retirement-income?
