Why territory settings deserve attention
When artists select worldwide distribution, later store expansion can increase availability without rebuilding the release. That is useful, but worldwide should only be selected when you actually control the rights everywhere you are delivering.
If a license, sample agreement or other right is limited to certain countries, territory settings need to match the rights you hold.
