Well Tate Family, unfortunately we have had to take legal action against many different individuals that have tried to be very negative against our wonderful company and family of authors. Whether you are a Tate author, prospective author or just researching this industry we have been appalled at all of the negative and incorrect information on the internet, in blog sites or on competitors websites.

While we value differing opinions, competition and open discussion, we will not stand for malicious or untrue attacks. The basic gist of it is that there have been defamatory remarks, erroneous information, trademark infringements and copyright violations across the board. Many have been using the Tate Publishing name to launch their own businesses, advertise their own companies or services, and finally defame for personal gain.

Please if you have been negatively affected or been given erroneous information or information different than what is on the Tate Publishing website, in our contract or discussed in conversations with our staff, please let us know. Our legal team is still collecting hundreds of emails and cataloging the rest of the information and your input is always welcome and can be used as evidence and testimony as well.

I want to make it a point that I hate this course of action, these individuals have been warned numerous times and both myself and the Tate Publishing staff have been professional and cordial with these individuals and organizations, but I feel they took our willingness to work with them as weakness and we have had to move forward.

In this day and age people assume that over the internet you can say and do what you want with no level of accountability, for the most part this may be true, but our legal system can protect us from unwarranted, defaming, untrue attacks, especially when there are issues involving copyrighted information and trademark violations.

On a spiritual note, the Bible tells us that light cannot have fellowship with darkness, the enemy does not want our success and he certainly doesn’t want yours. This is the very reason we lift each of you up in prayer everyday. Our success speaks for itself and we couldn’t be prouder of our position at the top of our industry. Please let us know if you have any comments and once again, while unfortunate, we must hold these people accountable. If you have any questions just let us know and don’t forget to check out all of the other incredible blogs on our site.

Have a wonderful weekend, God Bless, and as always send some discussion topics my way.

Ryan Tate
