Once you prove that the sum converges everywhere on a dense set (namely the
whole plane except 1 + 2 n pi i or something like that), uniqueness off the
poles is trivial because real/complex sums are unique. Uniqueness at the
poles is guaranteed by continuous extension in a hausdorff space.

You would need a much more high powered (but generic) theorem if the claim
was that a unique analytic function extends the conventional sum that is
defined for Re s > 1, because that's obviously not dense in the plane so
you need to know some things about complex analysis for the proof.
