@spotify does not want me

I just got this email from Spotify

Dear Spotify user,

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.

We are sorry that we have to take this step.  We do hope to
launch our free service in more countries in the future.

If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to
contact our support team. (support@spotify.com)

Regards,
The Spotify team.

Now I do not really know what to think.

 

I first heard of spotify in spring 2007 and since then had been eagerly waiting for the live beta. 

In Ocotber/November 2008 when Spotify went out of the private beta I signed up for a premium account which WAS available in my country - Germany.

I have been paying for the service for two months but decided to downgrade from the premium version because in 2008 the song data base was far from complete. 

This step downgraded me to a free, ad-supported stream. And this is how I have been using spotify eversince. 

I am really happy with the service and have done a really nice promotion for the software. 

Spotify is quite active on twitter, if they don't contact me there I'll have to right an email. (ouch)
