The statement of copyright isn't the problem. The problem is

"Kobo's Registered Users' personal and non-commercial use. Any other use of literary works downloaded from kobobooks.com is strictly prohibited"

and

"Registered Users may not [...] display"

which seem to say that only the registered user may read the ebook.
