Well i hate to break it to you, but it is. I point out to you the several swedish torrent sites, which continue to run because swedish law does not yet prohibit them. The fact is if its not illegal in the country of origin, then the person CANNOT be charged for it. Its really quite simple.
if its not illegal where you are - you can't get charged for it.
At most an extradition request could be put in to allow the person to be deported to a country to be charged for breaking its laws, but i don't see that happening over this, do you?
it's never a good idea to assume anything about the law just because it seems liek it should, or shouldn't be that way. At the end of the day unless its illegal in the country the person is originating from, there isn't much you can do about it. Put it this way - you're local PD arent going to be able to arrest someone in the seychelles, are they? neither will any member of your countries law enforcement, because they have no jurisdiction in that country. It's really a rather simple concept.
