I get confused when I see stuff like Record Labels, Imprints and stuff like that. But, what I want to know is what is the difference between a record label vs. a distributor? Example: Rihanna's new album talk that talk is distributed by Universal Music in Australia, Poland, Ireland and Germany. But, in France and Italy it's distributed by Def Jam. Why? Rihanna is signed to Def Jam, Roc Nation and SRP. Why is there different distributors for nearly each country?
