I'm reading a news story about some bad guys in Real de Catorce, Mexico accused of kidnapping, extortion and "cobro de derecho de piso." Huh? Charging for rights to the floor? What crime is that exactly?

It is an idiom that means "collection of dues."

So maybe something like a "protection racket"? - Sopla, Nov 9, 2011
