The Rights Society field in Discogs is a big potential source of issues. The reason is: almost all releases out there have one, or more, rights societies printed on them. I already looked into where the Rights Society field perhaps should have been used, but wasn't.
What I didn't look at is whether or not the values of the releases that have one or more Rights Society fields are actually correct.
I took the latest data dump and ran some tests. I haven't added the check to my scripts because there were too many false positives (although I will add a few sanity checks soon), but I still found a few interesting things.
