It has to be the downloader who is responsible for following (or not) the laws of their own country.
It would be entirely a waste of time, money and effort to force sites offering PD books to implement georestriction checks on downloaders, since it takes little effort and zero cost to spoof an IP in a country that can legally download the book.
The end user has to take responsibility for their behaviour on the internet. If the site provider is held liable in every circumstance, there will be no internet as we know it.
