It really boggles my mind that a big porn company would use copyrighted music that way. There are so many talented musicians here in Miami and elsewhere that would be thrilled to create music as a work-for-hire for adult movies in any style from silly to serious and do it for peanuts. I have hired and paid a bunch of local musicians and talented amateur musicians over the years to create and record theme songs for some of my adult movie series with custom lyrics associated with the movie plots. Some of these were completely original instrumental songs and some were even even parody songs based on real copyrighted music.
But because the music itself was orininal in the sense that it was modified and made into a parody it was covered under fair use and never a problem. For example, I made a two part movie starring Shayla LaVeaux fifteen years ago called "Striptease" where I had some friends in a rock band record a cover of a cover as the theme song- essentially covering Anthrax's thrash metal cover of Joe Jackson's "Time" song from the 80's with the chrous being "Striptease" instead of "Time". In any case, if music is that important, you can simply hire someone to create it for you instead of taking something off of the radio!
