Short story:

At The National Music Publishers Association's "Celebration of the American Songwriter" event in Washington DC, USA, Aerosmith frontman (and multi-millionaire) Steven Tyler expresses his disdain for current digital royalty rates, stating. "If the laws continue going the way they are,[songwriters] will never be paid fairly for [their] own participation. So people, forgive me for being a little jaded about the state of copyright." He is referring mainly to the rates paid by streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify.
