Without copyright the work of artists and musicians wouldn't be protected, but some generous people give their work to the general public and remove the copyright protection instated on it. By doing this they make their work royalty free, meaning they give their work away without asking for payment (royalty) although most prefer if the user could reference their work in some way.
I often use these assets for my collage work, so for example if were making a short film we might include royalty free sound effects or music to increase the quality of the project. Another thing to note is that even royalty free sites sometimes have a price associated with using the work, for example certain sound effects might require money to be used.
In professional work plagiarism is heavily punished but collage work is not and this is why many of my projects include work with youtube video audio.
