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.

I think Russia, because of the sanctions. What I've heard is that they stopped caring about piracy, there's piracy even on their social media, like VK, out in the open.

If it was relaxed before, now it feels like it's legalized in there.

Edit: found a source for this

It's not officially legalized somehow. It's just not strictly enforced right now. They mostly don't pay attention.

Although I may be slightly mistaken, I seem to have found that there are some exceptions to financial payments for patent violations in relation to unfriendly countries.
