I have no reason to doubt Andrew's remarks regarding Copland. I can only say how surprised I am to learn that, given the high rental rates for his music and the frequent performances and recordings it receives.
You've got to remember that Copland is a Dead White Male himself. When he was *alive* and actively composing (i.e., prior to 1972) his music was by no means so frequently performed or recorded. The first recordings of Billy the Kid and Rodeo, I think, were made in the '60s.
