Music is copyrighted. It is not to be used without the artist's permission. The McCain campaign started with an ad using a song from John Mellencamp without permission. Mellencamp let him know that he has always been anti war and it's best that they not associate him with the McCain campaign. McCain also got a cease and desist from Mike Myers (clip from Wayne's World), Jackson Brown (Running on Empty), Frankie Valli (You're just too good to be true), and, most recently from Heart (Barracuda).
That's why there was a reference to attorneys. What the McCain campaign is doing is illegal. I guess he'll try stealing something from Stephen Stills or U2 next.
