EMI Music’s catalog...worldwide?

Apple's press release states that "Apple® today announced that EMI Music’s entire digital catalog of music will be available for purchase DRM-free (without digital rights management) from the iTunes® Store (www.itunes.com) worldwide in May".

Does "worldwide" includes all America (central and south)? Or worldwide means here, just the same 22 countries currently active?

EMusic is really great, it has allowed me to discover a lot of fantastic artists. However, sometimes you are looking for music (maybe more "mainstream") that is not available there, but it is in iTunes Store...which means not available for the rest of us outside the "privileged" countries supported.

I really, really hope the end of that weird segmentation done by the music companies is near its end. Anyone can buy a CD from Amazon from any country, there is no single reason for those restrictions.
