Musicians "selling out" by licensing their music

This could be in the music discussion section but i felt it would get more traction if posted here...
I got the idea from a story about Billy Corgan's change of heart regarding the licensing of his music. You can watch that HERE.


How do you feel about musicians licensing their music in films, television and commercial advertisements?

It has been done by so many artists to sell everything under the sun. So does it make you cringe to hear music that you like in the latest taco bell commercial?

1. It's "selling out" and when it happens, that artist is dead to me. I'll never buy another CD or go to another show.

2. I don't hate the artists that do it but i do lose respect for them.

3. I understand it... but i don't especially like it.

4. If they get paid, why not do it?

5. I'm glad when an artist that i like can make some extra money by selling a song for a tv commercial.

6. I don't care either way.

7. I'm just retarded.
