Certainly. Just as there are numerous items on the Project Gutenberg web site which shouldn't be downloaded by people outside the United States. All any eBook site can do is to host material which it is legal for it to host, and to advise people who may be located elsewhere to check whether or not an item is legal in their country before downloading it. It's certainly not the site's "duty" to know what is or is not in the public domain in every country in the world.
