Amazon joins Scott Turow, John Grisham, other top authors in effort to take down ‘pirate’ book site - GeekWire

"In the last decade, and especially the last couple of years, the number of piracy complaints handled by the Authors Guild has skyrocketed, which is why we no longer could sit by and allow book piracy entities like KISS Library to continue to rob authors and publishers of their ability to earn a living," Preston, president of the Authors Guild, said in a statement. "We are filing this suit not only on behalf of ourselves but for the thousands of authors who labor years to write a book, putting their hearts and souls into every sentence, only to see their income lost to book piracy."
