In this part of the world we are blessed with an invaluable freedom. We're free to listen to any music. We're free to express our opinions. Use this freedom wisely.

Our freedoms in the US don't escape licensing and copyright laws.

And we're still able to express our opinions, but when we do we have to be prepared to be shamed on all social media and blasted in every media outlet resulting in immediate removal from parent teacher organizations, church groups, and other social clubs. So we can speak up, so long as what we say is popular among the majority.

YouTube has a directory available, listing songs and their policies set by the copyright holders. Many songs are blocked in Germany and Antarctica. Some are blocked in the US. Clearly some artists don't agree with copyright laws. I was encouraged by original artists to cover their work, even before the albums were officially published.

I mostly refrain from expressing my opinions on social media. This only leads to endless “yes/no, true/false” discussions or debates. It's also a guaranteed recipe for making enemies.
