I try to let the Bar Mitzvah and wedding clients pay for my groceries.  I let 
small filmmakers use our music for soundtracks in exchange for complete 
credits (including our web address) and a VHS copy.  Besides, the PR, I feel 
it's an honor to be featured in someone else's art.
Life is short, and any publicity is better than obscurity!
