Spotify doesn't let you use them if you live in the wrong country either, you just happen to live in a right country for them.

Not that it's much better, but Spotify will let you live in the wrong country as long as you can pay from the right country (like Apple, they depend on the billing address for debit/credit card).
But that's all ignoring the actually source of these restrictions. They don't come from the services themselves. They come from the outdated music industry structure that hasn't kept up with the internet-enabled globalized world.
