Damaged & Marked Illegal for Circulation

"Sale restriction may be printed on the book" (from the description) means the cover is printed saying it is illegal to circulate the book outside of South Asia. I'd planned to include this in my professional library. I'm concerned that having this version is unethical, if not illegal, so I can't use it as I'd intended. The seller includes a sheet explaining that the US Supreme Court upholds my right to have this copy of the book for individual use, even though it is marked illegal. Nonetheless, this seems unethical if not technically illegal. I prefer not to participate on the fringes of the illegal commerce and would not have purchased this item had I realized what the seller's veiled statement really meant. The book also arrived outside of the badly damaged media mail package which also resulted in damage to the book.
