any promo for any gig has to go through band management before being released. Worst case scenario the artist is sent it once it’s published or tagged on the post and can, at any time, ask to get it removed in case of misinformation.
I don't think this is true at all, especially in a foreign country, and especially for a band that isn't that popular like DSL. Taylor Swift's people can throw their weight around but not these guys.

This is more likely, but I'm not sure the guys in the band would know what was going on on Brazilian Tik Tok.
It’s surely on their contract. If they bother monitoring or not that’s another point.
Re Mark caring about it or not, I think a certain b-side he recorded a few years ago will give us a hint.
A really cool B-side, by the way. It's a shame he only played it once, but if the intention was to send a message to DSL, the message was given and the DSL may have responded with a song. I hope Mark feels like he's being bothered again, this time with websites promoting DSL as DS, and he makes another excellent song like the one he released in 2015. I'll love hearing it. One thing's for sure: Every time tribute bands play DS songs, Mark probably makes money from it because there are certainly clauses for that, and fans of those songs who go to a DSL show can have the luxury of enjoying these songs performed by Alan Clark, an important part of DS's sound. I loved watching it myself, and I saw people really enjoying it, even those who thought they were playing Dire Straits without Mark Knopfler, well, patience. 🥱
