When I see that some supposed smart and educated people are able to edict such laws, I keep telling myself that I want more of these guys as competitors, one day or another. I've always been a P2P (or more generally illegal download) addict for more than 10 years, I have no shame to say that as beside I keep buying a lot of stuff (music, videos, softs...etc) that worth to be bought. Lately, I've gradually stopped to download music as some services such as Deezer, Jiwa and the excellent Spotify came out, the quality, the choice and the software (for Spotify) were excellent, thus there was no point for me to keep hanging around P2P stuff. But lately I received two mail, one from Jiwa and one from Spotify both roughly saying the same stuff :

We're writing to you in regards to your Spotify account which up

until now you've been using free of charge. While we are really

happy that you are enthusiastically using Spotify, we are

unfortunately going to have to restrict access to your free

account.

Spotify is currently available in six countries: Sweden, Norway,

Finland, Spain, France and the UK. We never intended to allow

use of our service outside of those countries and we do not run

any adverts on your account like we do in the launch countries.

For this reason we have to restrict your account, you will be

able to log in to Spotify and view music and playlists but not

listen to any music.
