You'd be surprised about music rights. I know that of several instances where
usage rights were adjusted to the budget of the production, even though the
artists were very high profile, big money, etc…
As in anything, the key is in the approach. I've gotten rights to use
published music, and I approached it like buying a car. I refuse to pay
sticker price (on anything, for that matter). I'm sure not everyone is willing
to deal on copyrights, but I haven't found one yet that won't.
