Foo Fighters are accusing US Republican presidential hopeful John McCain of having a disregard for intellectual property. The accusation surfaces from the use of their song ‘My Hero ‘ by McCain ’s presidential campaign without the bands permission. "This isn’t the first time the McCain campaign has used a song without making any attempt to get approval or permission from the artist.
