Your conscience, hopefully. As making the file available for many people would definitely be illegal.

The publisher decides if a book is DRM protected or not, not Amazon.
I for one are very thankful, that some publisher still believe that they can trust their customer to obey the law.

In the end, DRM is mostly a nuisance for user with multiple devices. People who want to pirate the books are not really dissuaded by it.
