From: Pippa Smart <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 09:17:20 +0100 There are sometimes problems with multi-territory sales due to (1) copyright restrictions and (2) vendor licence agreements In trade publishing it is common for authors to assign publishers different territory rights (because of different market penetration of the companies). Scholarly publishing usually requires global rights, but it's possible that large databases may include some materials (e.g. photos from photo libraries) that come with restrictions on where they can be sold by the publisher. There are also cases where a publisher subcontracts sales within specific territories to a third party and in this case to provide multi-site licences that entered these territories would contravene these agreements.
