Could you explain why there is royalties on pro games?

In chess there have been a tens of courtcases which all very clearly
demonstrated that games in themselves are free. Only you must proof that
you either entered the games yourself into the computer or have the rights
from the person that entered them.

That's why by now all so many games (a million or 4) are for free on the
internet.

What is the construction used in the go world?
