How will moving the image help? When Dutch law applies to the picture, moving the image won't change that; at most Dutch and US law will be applicable.
How were you planning on enforceing Dutch law in the US?
With the way copyrights are dealt with on Commons it is always implied that for a picture to be useable as public domain it must be in the public domain under the laws of the country of origin AND the United States (where the servers are). Where pictures are PD in the USA but not PD in the country of origin they are NOT PD for the purposes of Wikimedia.
According to this then, pictures (and other work) with other licenses must be usable by Wikimedia in the USA AND the country of origin.
