TL;DR Summary

Johnny Marr criticizes Donald Trump for playing The Smiths' song at a rally, vowing to shut it down. This is not the first time Trump has faced backlash from musicians for using their songs without permission, with artists like The Rolling Stones, Prince, David Bowie, and Tom Petty's estate objecting to the use of their music at his events. While campaigns can obtain licenses for public performance of songs, artists can work with licensing organizations to remove their music from being used in this manner. Marr has not confirmed whether he will take legal action against the Trump campaign.
