True... Luckily I'm in one of these countries at the moment.

However I'm certain my country of birth is still not covered by these services so in that case this is a good alternative.

False. Spotify is available in 45 countries. Deezer is available in over 180!

Given how stringent Germany is with regard to copyright laws and adding huge fees to everything played anywhere I'm amazed Spotify made it here, but it has and I use it every day.
