I totally agree with Nikki. The perception of most people is that if it is
available on the internet, then it is available worldwide.
This is exactly the reason why I brought this up. We have many rules, and
that is exactly as it should be if we are to keep a database that is
reasonably accurate, but our rules have to be in tune with those of the
general public. We cannot and should not be seen to be some form of
"elitist" group who operate by rules outside the norm.

If a label is known but not where it's based - or nothing at all is

I don't agree with that and would only support it if we delete worldwide.
In my experience, people think internet releases are worldwide releases,
not a release in the label's country. It would just be adding yet another
case of "our rules aren't what people expect".
