The copyright laws regarding the Internet are still being formulated and determined by the courts. We are very careful about asking permission before posting anything that we did not create, or that is not in the public domain. If you find something that is not properly credited, it is undoubtedly an oversight that we will happily correct. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you should provide us with the information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

We ask that users of the Jewish Virtual Library exercise similar respect for the intellectual property rights of others and credit AICE or the original source for any material that you take from the Jewish Virtual Library for use in either a printed or electronic form. Generally, unless an entry specifically lists a source at the bottom of the page the copyright belongs to AICE. We ask that any of our material that is reprinted carry the following tagline with a link back to the Jewish Virtual Library:

Copyright American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, Reprinted with permission.

If you simply wish to link to our site, no permission is required and we encourage webmasters to create these links. We will usually reciprocate and add links to our bibliography of web sites with the caveat that we include only noncommercial sites that we determine are useful for users researching Jewish history and culture.

Visitors should also be aware that we are often given permission to use the material of others in the Jewish Virtual Library, but this does not mean it may reprinted elsewhere without their permission; therefore, we urge users to request permission from the original sources of any material they plan to use.

For example the Holy Scriptures appearing at this site were reprinted by permission, but cannot be freely copied without permission from the original authors: Portions copyright © 1997 by Benyamin Pilant (webmaster@breslov.com), All Rights Reserved.
