Don't know about any infringement with the usage of film clips, but
McCain has continued to use music without permission from several
artists including Jackson Browne who is suing his campaign for
$75,000 for using his song "Runnin' On Empty" in one of his t.v. ads
without permission.

I was really surprised to see the TEN COMMANCMENTS footage of the
parting of the Red Sea with Charlton Heston as Moses used in the
recent McCain TV ad. From what I understand the film is heavily
copyrighted (it's shown yearly still on network TV around Passover/
Easter). Also, I think the ad includes music by Elmer Bernstein
from the original soundtrack. Anyone know if they are using this
footage with permission? Maybe the DeMille estate granted this.
Seems strange to me.
