Reproducing, quoting extensively, or republishing website content without permission could expose users to copyright infringement claims, which is particularly relevant for journalists, researchers, and professionals who routinely cite or excerpt online sources.
Interpretive note: The agreement asserts all-rights-reserved copyright without acknowledging fair use or fair dealing exceptions, which remain available under applicable law regardless of this contractual language; the practical scope of the restriction therefore depends on jurisdiction and use context.
Users, journalists, and professionals who copy or republish content from thomsonreuters.com without prior written consent may be in violation of copyright law as asserted by these terms. This applies to all forms of reproduction or retransmission, including digital sharing.

"All content on Thomson Reuters World Wide Web pages is protected by copyright. All rights are reserved. Reproduction or retransmission of the materials, in whole or in part, in any manner, without the prior written consent of Thomson Reuters, is a violation of copyright law.— Excerpt from Thomson Reuters's Thomson Reuters Terms
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision is grounded in US copyright law and equivalent international copyright frameworks including the Berne Convention. The assertion that any reproduction without prior written consent is a violation reflects a maximalist copyright claim; in practice, fair use doctrine in the US and fair dealing provisions in the UK and other common law jurisdictions may permit limited reproduction for commentary, criticism, news reporting, and research without constituting infringement, notwithstanding this contractual assertion. The Copyright Office and US federal courts are the relevant US authorities. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Copyright assertions of this breadth are standard across major media and information services companies. The practical exposure arises primarily for business users, competitors, or media organizations that systematically republish or aggregate Thomson Reuters website content. Individual users quoting brief passages for non-commercial purposes are generally protected by fair use or fair dealing, though this agreement does not acknowledge those carve-outs. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Fair use applies in the US; fair dealing applies in the UK, Canada, Australia, and other common law jurisdictions. The EU Copyright Directive includes specific exceptions for news reporting and research. The document's all-or-nothing framing does not acknowledge these statutory exceptions, which may create confusion for users but does not eliminate the underlying legal rights. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Media organizations, legal publishers, and research institutions that systematically cite or excerpt Thomson Reuters website content should confirm whether a licensing arrangement or content partnership agreement is required. API or data licensing agreements may be separately available and should be evaluated before any systematic content use. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Content teams and communications professionals at organizations that routinely reference thomsonreuters.com should establish internal guidelines distinguishing permitted citation from reproduction that may require a license. Legal teams should note that statutory fair use and fair dealing rights are not eliminated by this contractual assertion, though legal advice should be sought for specific use cases.
