French publishers push to block piracy site Bookys
Book and press publishers in France are seeking a block on the site they call a pirate operation.
Coral’s read
Piracy fights rarely move fast, but this one is worth watching if you have French rights or distribution. A publisher coalition asking courts to block a site outright is a bigger swing than a takedown notice — it says the usual whack-a-mole approach stopped working. If you're published in France or through a French imprint, this is early-stage, but it's the kind of case that sets precedent for how aggressively your publisher can go after unauthorized copies later.
