A ruling by a Dutch judge does NOT change laws in other nations. There may be little copyright protection in Uzbekistan but lots of protections and penalties in the USA.

Plus, all of us are governed by author, publisher and retailer agreements implied or explicit. Violate Amazon's customer agreement, and your account could be closed.
