Blimey. US presidential hopeful John McCain has used music from Medal of Honor: European Assault in one of his campaign videos, as you can see after the link.

Christopher Lennertz, the composer of the piece, is a keen Barack Obama supporter and is apparently "dismayed" by his work's use in this way.

Lennertz obviously doesn't own the rights to the music. He's released a statement on the issue over at GamePolitics.

After garnering experience on countless gaming magazines, he joined Eurogamer and later split from that brand to create VG247, putting the site on the map with fast, 24-hour a day coverage, and assembling the site's earliest editorial teams. He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
