That goes for the OP. If a user from Australia uploaded or downloaded something that wasn't in PD, then Australian copyright law applies to the user. For the OP to be kosher, all books he uploads to his server has to be clear in both the UK, and where ever the server is located. It is very easy to break laws in more than one country with one single act.
