I'm asking about what place one could openly host every known commercial pop song and every Hollywood film without any worry about being shutdown or sued.

For a reference, according to a one-minute check of Wikipedia, the only countries which haven't ratified the Berne Convention or the TRIPS Agreement in any way are Eritrea, Kosovo, Palau and Palestine. While joining these agreements doesn't imply they're enforced, it gives an idea of how widely governments do agree to intellectual property rights.

In brazil, where I live, one could buy pirated copies of xbox 360 and ps3 games easily at local street markets during the early 2010s at broad daylight, enforcement of anti piracy on a indivual citizen level that I know of is completely unheard of, there have been cases where corporations without software licenses have been fined

it is completely normal to see computers with the activate windows water mark, I think I have seen more with the water mark than without it

Other Brazilian here: Although they don't care much about piracy at individual level, there were local servers seized and from time to time they take down some locally hosted sites, so although it's safe for you to download and even p2p share stuff, you can get unlucky hosting - if it's near elections and some politician needs to pretend he is having the police working.
