YouTube Strikes Back

Awhile back, I posted on the impact that YouTube might have/be having on the election. I noticed this post from DailyKos in regards to YouTube pulling McCain ads off of the site because of copyright infringement. Frankly, I couldn't help but laugh. Its one thing for some user submitted clip of Scarlett Johannson being interviewed by Jay Leno to get pulled for incorrect usage rights. I'm sure that little Jimmy in Grand Rapids, MI probably didn't have the correct legal channels to acquire the necessary rights. However, for a national Presidential campaign to have their stuff pulled for illegal use of copyrighted video/audio is embarassing. With all the lawyers inevitably linked to McCain, couldn't he find one to request the use of these songs and clips? Is it really that difficult?
