From my understanding, that depends if you're still the copyright owner. If you're the copyright owner you can, to some extent, control how its used via licensing. If you sold your rights to your record company and they want to license it for something against your wishes, tough .

Its a fundamental democratic practice. So really, they should'nt "shut the hell up". That would be unAmerican.

This. Even if you can't complain about it for IP rights issues like in a scenario I mentioned above, you still have the right to speak up on the issue because as a citizen, you should be involved in the democratic process and how your government decides policy. You may not be able to change it but if you feel strongly about it, you should voice your displeasure.
