You know, while I do like John McCain a lot, I disagree with his actions for the music business though. I agree that McCain does need to start asking permission for using Bands/Artists songs at his campaigns.
The Foo Fighters are not suing John McCain, they just simply released a statement asking him to not use the band’s songs without permission. A warning type of thing.

I’m glad the Foo’s didn’t go as far as suing like Jackson Browne did. Just shows that Dave knows how to say things in a polite way without putting people down.
Why don’t musicians ever attack Obama for using band’s songs? Well for one, I’m sure Obama asks the band’s permission first. That’s why no band or music artists attacked Obama yet.
If you’re a band and a musician if you own your music, you have the right to use your music however you please. It’s all up to the artist if they want to sue or not. If they own the copyright, they have the right to do what they want. Remember, the copyright and know how copyright works.
