More like it's safe music, not for rights, but for any influence on Truman. Don't want him hearing a song about sailing, and then wanting to sail. Or getting his kicks on Rt 66.
At the size of production they had going on it'd almost make sense for the studio producing the truman show to also commission/publish pop/rock/rnb/whatever songs, and then feature them in the show.. and then sell soundtrack albums on the outside.
No licensing issues and a built in marketing outlet.

Things we can afford: Gigantic megadome with thousands of staff working around the clock.
Things we can't afford: Pop music.
