If you use non-free use music (commerical music) you don't have a license for, then you are putting yourself at risks. You have to license music from either the artist or the label they are signed too (whoever holds the rights to the music).

I'm not a lawyer but I can't see you getting in trouble for having a coke pop can in the background. It would be the same as you getting in trouble for wearing clothes that are recognizable by brandname. The only way you would get into trouble is if you were obviously doing it for commercial benefit. If you called your movie Coca Cola Girls and drank coke and had cans in the background of your shoot, then you would be asking for trouble. If its in the background there is no intent to profit off of someone elses work.
