Is John McCain so ignorant of copyright laws that he doesn't realize you need an artist's permission to use his work in your own?
Jackson Browne doesn't want John McCain running on anything fueled by his lyrics.The singer-songwriter sued McCain and the Ohio and national Republican committees in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Thursday, accusing them of using his song "Running on Empty" without his permission.
[...]
The suit notes that other musicians, including ABBA and John Cougar Mellencamp, have asked McCain to stop using their work.
Browne's attorney, Lawrence Iser, called the ad's use of the song "reprehensible."
The 59-year-old singer claims his reputation has already been damaged and is seeking more than $75,000 in damages.
ABBA, too?
