No. The guys a professional composer. EA hired him to make some inspirational music appropriate for a MOH game. He did. They paid him. The music is not his. Nor does it likely "symbolize who he is". He was paid to create a product. It's pretty simple. The guys is purely a whiner. “Even if you don’t have the rights to something, you spent your time creating it and it symbolizes who you are, and what you do.”

Even if you don't have the rights to something, you spent your time creating it and it symbolizes who you are, and what you do. So by having the music that he created playing in a McCain ad, it makes it seem like he supports what McCain is saying. This however, is not true, and only seems to support the views of the company exec's. Oh...P.S...gotta love Obama.

He admits he doesn't have the rights to the music. You know what? That means the music is not his. I'm sure McCain secured the rights. And I'm sorry, but using a piece entitled "Casualties of War" as a backdrop about CASUALTIES OF WAR is not unethical. In fact, I consider this mans melodrama about "is is ok to use it to promote pornography?" as an unethical question? I mean are you serious? Give us a break. Either quit selling your music to "the man" or quit bitching when it's not used the way you like. This guy is a joke. He admits he doesn’t have the rights to the music. You know what?
