Rapidshare lost a lawsuit brought by book publishers against him, for having found pirated digital books from their files.

The site, based in Switzerland, was ordered by a court in Hamburg, Germany to withdraw access to some 148 books, plus ordering institute measures to prevent pirated books are uploaded to the web.

The sentence is even harder: every time a banned book is made available by RapidShare, the company must pay a fine of up to $ 339,000.

The authors argued that "literary works copyright are being made available illegally in the context of a system of internet file hosting."

This demand is one of the first in the publishing industry to fight against online piracy of books, an issue that is currently emerging as more authors publish their works in digital platforms through devices like the Kindle, Sony Reader or shortly iPad.

It is an important step forward. Not only states that sharing copyrighted material without permission is illegal, but also adds a monetary penalty to the server, in this case Rapidshare, not deliver, "said Tom Allen, CEO of the Association of American Publishers.

The publishers who brought the case were John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, Reed Elsevier, Pearson and Cengage Learning.

RapidShare, which receives about 42 million hits a day, has issued statements about this case, but all indications are that should start filtering content that allows users to download, at least in the case of books.
