NOTICE: Using our Content without Permission is both Against Halachah and Illegal

tls logoIt has come to our attention that publications have on a continuous basis been using our exclusive and copyrighted content – including copying and pasting full articles, as well as exclusive images.

Such practice is against the law and against Halachah.

Our reporters work around the clock to bring our readers the most up-to-date, unique and exclusive content, and to just grab the content, or reproduce it, is unethical – above it all.

Over the years, we gladly shared our content when requested by local and national news outlets – including WOBM, 101.5, the Star Ledger, NBC, News 12, ABC, CBS, CNN and many others – but we will not allow our hard work to be reproduced or just taken and have it portrayed as universal content or as a press release, when our reporters and writers actually created it, and worked hard to obtain it.

Researching, writing and photography all take time and much effort, and we will do whatever necessary to respect and protect the efforts and hard work of the TLS reporters.

If you’d like to use our information, feel free to reach out to us as does any reputable publication, but continuing to steal our content – not to mention without attribution – will result in both Halachic and legal action.

Thank you for understanding.

The TLS team.

This is so basic on so many levels I’m sad that TLS has to even say this. Its basic halacha, basic law and basic mentshlechkeit. Thanx, TLS , for the fantastic service & content u provide us with.
