Can I use someone else’s work if I give credit?

No, giving credit alone is not sufficient to use someone else’s work without permission.

Using someone else’s work without authorization constitutes copyright infringement, regardless of whether credit is given. To use someone’s work legally, you need to obtain explicit permission from the copyright owner or rely on exceptions, such as fair use (which is subject to specific conditions). Simply crediting the creator does not grant you the right to use their work without permission. It’s crucial to respect intellectual property rights and adhere to copyright laws to avoid legal consequences. If you wish to use someone else’s work, seek permission or explore alternatives that comply with copyright regulations.
