A judge ordered an e-book publishing site to halt its alleged counterfeit scheme as part of a court case involving a group of best-selling authors who are teaming up with Amazon.

U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction against the operators of Kiss Library and affiliated websites.

Amazon Publishing, Penguin Random House, and several well-known authors filed their original complaint last month, alleging that Kiss Library and related mirror websites sold unauthorized ebooks at discounted prices as they displayed, reproduced, sold, and distributed copyrighted works without permission.

John Grisham, Scott Turow, R.L. Stine, Sylvia Day, and other top American authors are named as plaintiffs in the suit. They request that the defendants return all profits made off the alleged illegal sales.

The preliminary injunction orders the defendants to stop selling the alleged counterfeit books. They are also restrained from disposing of any files and records related to the reproduction and distribution of the books. Any banks, payment processors, and other services associated with Kiss Library are ordered to stop conducting business with the sites; domain name registries also must deactivate the sites.

The defendants did not show up to a court hearing on Tuesday to discuss the preliminary injunction.

The judge said the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their copyright claims and are suffering “irreparable injury in the absence of an injunction.”

Some of the same authors partnering with Amazon Publishing in the lawsuit were part of a group of more than 900 writers who publicly lambasted Amazon’s negotiating tactics during a ebook pricing and profit margin dispute with Hachette back in 2014. Amazon eventually reached an agreement with Hachette later that year.

Other authors listed on the lawsuit against Kiss Library include Lee Child, Sylvia Day, C.J. Lyons, Doug Preston, Jim Rasenberger, T.J. Stiles, Monique Truong, Nicholas Weinstock, and Stuart Woods.
