 Instagram needs license to play music following instances where
the posts have been pulled down due to copyright infringement or
piracy issues.

The feature became possible after Facebook, the parent company of

Instagram, worked out a deal with Sony Music, Universal Music and
the Warner Music Group to add music to videos. The deal included
adding music in the following platforms: Facebook, Facebook
Messenger, Instagram, and Oculus.

The music feature gives users an option to add music to an

Instagram story. It comes as a sticker with 'music' written on it while
adding an Instagram story update and is available on both iOS and
Android. However, the ability to choose music before recording the
story update is limited to iOS for now.

In the regions where the feature is not available, there are a number
of legal procedures that have to be taken care of as there are no
universal law for copyright and piracy.  It may take some time for the
feature to be available on a global scale.

Currently, the feature is available only in seven countries: Australia, LIVE TV

New Zealand, France, Germany, Sweden, UK and US, even though the
update is supposed to come with version 51.
