Blame the author for not granting the publisher world-wide rights.

Do you mean they should give away world rights for free when they can sell the non-world rights and get more money? Authors have been willing to grant world wide rights if they have got paid for it. So I would say it is the publisher that should be blamed if anybody should be blamed.
