I'd say (supposing the above are correct) that applying the same rules to net releases would mean they are "worldwide" releases almost every time. I have seen things released on the net that are NOT available everywhere: for example, I've seen some things on iTunes that were not sold in France (in that particular case, it was an episode of some show, I think, but I'm sure it's possible for songs too). In that case, that would be a US release.
Here's another example - NOT iTunes related: When I posted a release from the russian Mastik netlabel at my Netlabel blog, a while back, I got replies that some users can't access this site. Simular replies I got from discogs moderators, when I was going to add a release there with the label URL in the modnote: http://www.mastik.org/?page=releases I never had any problems to connect this site (from Germany). However, the label uploaded the releases to archive.org -> http://www.archive.org/details/mastik <- also, but in the very first place all download links pointed to their server.
If I'm wrong, can we try to make a clear statement regarding "what is the 'release country' field for?"
yes please. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
