From TMZ in the USA:
Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer — I’m Disgusted the CIA Allegedly Used Our Music … TO TORTURE A MAN!
4/12/2014 2:05 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith almost threw up in a Malibu parking lot Saturday … after learning the CIA allegedly used his band’s music during a suspected terrorist interrogation.
Chad was leaving Coogies when our photog asked for his opinion on a recent news report saying RHCP music was used during a CIA interrogation in 2002.
According to Al Jazeera … the report says Abu Zubaydah was shackled by his wrists to the ceiling of a secret prison site and forced to listen to one of their songs on a loop — among other torture methods. No word on which song.
The 52-year old rocker is pissed at the feds — and he’s not shy about it.
Someone’s gonna get audited this year.
Skinny Puppy, a local Vancouver band has filed a court challenge against the use of their music by American “interrogators”

well I heard also Sarah McLachlan was mad when they used her song ( I Will Remember You) for the Columbine video that replayed going into the school – and asked for it be removed but it was already realized for training – –

There is also the issue of politicians using music without authorization in campaigns:

However, abusing music for torture is still worse.
