Perhaps there is no difference in the law, but rather only in the enforcement of it.
Here in the US it is common for American CD retail websites to carry European public domain CDs which are still under US copyright. I just think that the govt can't be bothered with enforcing the law.
Perhaps it is easier to police eBooks than hardcopies.
