I really don't understand this attitude at all. Don't you think fame & riches is part of the whole rock & roll dream? Don't you think these people write songs for people to hear and enjoy? Why wouldn't they want their music heard on a TV show? I've always thought this idea was weird.

In many cases the people who write the songs aren't actually selling the rights to use the songs. Jacko owns the Beatles catalog and I know McCartney is not happy with some commercial uses in which his and Lennon's songs have been used. Not sure if The Who own rights to their songs but I just don't think Roger Daltrey and Peter Townsend think of "CSI" as part of living the rock and roll dream.
