Beastie Boys
Man, King Ad Rock and Mike D will not be happy.
shareWhy? They don't have a problem being included on a soundtrack with their permission. .... what they don't go for is having their music to sell a product especially without their permission. Being part of a movie soundtrack isn't advertising.
shareThere is also such thing as theatrical release rights and home video release rights. Which was the cause of the movie Heavy Metal to do pretty good at the box office and yet take 16 years to release to home video. Home video rights for the music were obtained after someone bought the publishing rights to the movie and then that person settled with the music companies. Not sure if he came out ahead on it or not.
