The Publishers Association in the UK is considering legal action to block internet booksellers importing US books to the UK, according to the Financial Times. The Association claims that booksellers such as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble are in breach of copyright law, and it has already put the squeeze on the UK’s Internet Bookshop Ltd, and is preparing to do battle with the majors Waterstones and Dillons, who want to offer a similar service to their US competitors.
