There are legitimate reasons to set a finite list of release countries on a Digital Media release. Some labels only release in certain regions because a substantial amount of their music is narrowly licensed:
- Vertigo Berlin primarily releases in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
- Wrasse Records primarily releases in the United Kingdom and Ireland, but there are spot cases where their license extends to Europe or the Americas.
- AVALON primarily releases in Japan.
Maybe what you’re looking for is a limit on the number of release countries that can be attached to a single release. e.g., if someone tries to seed 75+ countries, the release editor would change it to a single country of Worldwide. Is that an acceptable compromise? (That is my current editing approach.)
