They certainly should if they are selling books in that country.
If you find a physical bookstore selling a pirated pBook, do they just get to say "Oops, my bad, I didn't know any better". If they are going to sell a product, they have a responsibility to make sure they can legally sell it.
If Amazon wants to sell copyrighted content in multiple countries, they better know what the laws are. Yes, it's probably going to be complicated, but that's their problem. They don't just get a free pass because it's "too hard". That's one of the costs of being in a market like that.
