>there are services like Spotify, Rdio and many more that offers painless listening.

Sadly most of these are only available in the US – and there are ~500 million people in the EU without access to most of these services.

Luckily it gets better nowadays, Spotify exists in most countries here, iTunes in contrast to Google Play actually sells everywhere (GPlay only in some countries here) and with Netflix coming to Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France and some other countries from 2015 on movie piracy will also go down.
