because most music forums want to talk about music and bands as opposed to marketing and business.

generally speaking if you want to get anything licensed it needs to be a viable commercial product (as in - on a label). you also need to consider the parent companies as well, you think a movie soundtrack for something released by Warner Bros. would feature tunes from an artist signed to Universal (or one of its subsidiaries)?

if you were actually in a position to license music you would already have a real world contact to help make it happen (manager / agent / label rep).
