Presumed Presidential Pirate

THE PRESUMED Republican U.S. presidential candidate John McCain favors draconian copyright enforcement, except when his own election campaign uses other people's music.
His campaign has been caught using various entertainment content owned by ABBA, Chuck Berry, John Hall, John Mellencamp, filmmaker Mike Myers of Wayne's World and Frankie Valli without permission, and has been either shamed or threatened into discontinuing use of the offending material.
Now singer-songwriter Jackson Browne has sued John McCain and the Republican Party because the Ohio Republican Party is using Browne's song "Running on Empty" in a TV attack ad against rival Barack Obama.
