In another recent Reddit thread, a fan suggested that Murphy had perhaps “sold the rights to LCD’s catalogue for commercial use”, adding: “Maybe he no longer has the final say in which ads LCD’s music is used in? I may be coping lol.”
Someone replied: “Every [major] artist is signed to a publishing company [whose] job is to distribute their clients’ intellectual property and chase the royalties for its usage. So yes.” However, a second user simply said that “money talks”.

Elsewhere, a separate post read: “Love their music but this is not OK. License your music out for a car commercial if you need money, not to a legitimate nazi.”
NME has contacted LCD Soundsystem’s representatives for comment.
Musk’s recent appearance in the Epstein files includes a 2012 email, in which he asked the convicted sex offender via email: “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”
Another email read: “Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Baits or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.”
Late last month, Musk responded in a statement on X. “No one pushed harder than me to have the Epstein files released and I’m glad that has finally happened,” he wrote.
“I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his ‘Lolita Express’, but was well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name.”
Musk added: “I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein, especially regarding heinous exploitation of underage girls.”
