I believe it's the other way around--you're not breaking any laws in buying and downloading it, but FW is infringing copyright by selling it in a jurisdiction where they don't have permission and it's not public domain.
Distribution is a violation of copyright law; reception isn't. If a book sold at a store and is ruled to be infringing on copyright, the buyers aren't liable.
