If an artist has created a song, then it's upto them however they want it to be broadcast, whether it be in a film, on a disc or on a sh*tty advert. The whole concept of selling out is ridiculous and is only championed by people who do not want the general public to hear their favourite bands music.

A small-town band make a stadium-rock album, they've sold out.

A big-time band make a movie soundtrack, they've sold out.

Iggy Pop does car insurance adverts, he's sold out.

Iggy Pop selling car insurance wasn't a crime against humanity because of its contrast with the punk idols image, it was a crime against humanity because the adverts in question were so bloody annoying.
