I do not understand your question. Film is art and being associated with another artist is not an ethical problem unless you do not support the art or the artist. For example some people would want their their music in a Lars Von Trier film and others may not (e.g., a Christian Rock artist may be offended by Lars' work). Presumably when the production / marketing company requests for the music to be included on a score, soundtrack or promotional materials the Christian Rocker would say "no thank you".
This is a good article on the subject of music, advertising and 'selling out' by one of my favourite bands Yo La Tengo:

No one wants to be a "sell out"
