The Sex Pistols are set to sell their back catalogue for a host of new advertising campaigns according to reports.
With Universal Music Publishing buying the rights to Johnny Rotten & Co’s material the company is looking to make millions of pounds from allowing advertisers to use the songs.
The Times reports that several companies including British Airways and Range Rover have already showed an interest while tracks may be used for TV and film soundtracks too.
The band however have drawn up a set of ground rules stating which campaigns and what products their material can be used for.
Apparently ads for luxury cars, mobile phones and MP3 players are fine by them with a spokesman adding they also want adverts that "focus on anti-establishment/punk ideals".
