Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss?



So, regardless of Chan in particular, what do you think of artists lending their music (and therefore their image, etc) to sell products?

(btw, I realize some artists don't own all of their catalog and don't have control over how their music is used, for example : The Beatles.)

My only objection is that, in all too many cases, my experience of artist's "selling out" (this includes actors as well) is that they inevitably seem to be very much influenced by those outside sources that they've come to depend upon for their income. This usually is reflected in the style and content of their performances. I couldn't care less about their making money from their work and creativity..all the power to them in that regard. The artists I tend to like the most seem to be those who've created their successes on their own terms, rather than those dictated by others.
