Applicable/legal

Hi.
Upon accessing a free antivirus website(http://free.avg.com/ww-en/#ixzz2H1SNP8EV), I was notified that:

The contents of our website cannot be accessed from your destination due to restrictions arising from applicable legal regulations. We apologize for the inconvenience.

What's the difference between legal and applicable?

OK.
I ask about the difference between legal and applicable.

I know Iran is under sanction and they forbade civilized Iranian people from downloading even a free antivirus!
