Authors Win $7.8 Million Default Judgment in Global Piracy Lawsuit - Publishers Weekly

As  Panzer was taking his noon nap today he rudely shaken from his kitty bed by clapping and cheering coming from the Catosphere. Hopping into the Panzermobile our brave kitty boy followed the ruckus to the Publishers Weekly site. There he discovered a post about a judgment in a global piracy lawsuit was causing all the joyful noise.

 

Library? No. Piracy site? Yes.

The post by Andrew Albanese says the lawsuit filed by the Authors Guild, Amazon Publishing, PRH, and several authors against the KISS Library for ebook piracy has been decided. The judge decided the KISS Library is an ebook piracy site. KISS Library was ordered to shut down all domain sites. The owners of the site were also ordered to pay $7.8 million.

 

Panzer says, "Piracy is stealing and when you're caught you will pay."
