"Smiths Guitarist Demands Trump Cease Using Band's Music at Rallies"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump could face a lawsuit for using a song by the Smiths at a rally, as the band's guitarist, Johnny Marr, and a lawyer have suggested potential legal action for copyright infringement and "passing off." This isn't the first time Trump has faced such issues, as the disco group Village People previously sent him a cease-and-desist letter for using their music at his events. Several other artists, including Neil Young, Adele, Rihanna, and Elton John, have also objected to Trump using their music at his campaign events.
