I am working on a website about learning a foreign language. I want to take content from other sites.
Can I use any content from any website to publish on my website by giving credit?

    No.

    Do you really have to ask this?

    I am not sure. I see 'you cant use any part of this website without permission' some thing like that.

    You can't use anything from anyone else without permission.

    There are a few exceptions to this (expired copyright and public domain for example) But if you ask for permission every time you won't go wrong.

    Hope that helps.

    I like to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brains fall out

    You need permission to use anyone's work on any website period. If you aren't willing to pay someone for original content, then the ONLY way I would consider using someone else's content is if I were an affiliate for them. You increases your chances of getting a yes if you explain to them that you want to sell their product and would like to use their content on your site.

    Outside of that, I highly suggest you get your own content, whether through PLR, actually writing it yourself, or paying someone else to write it for you.

    Hey. Yep you need to give credit to the person or source or where you got the information from ALWAYS.

    But if this is for YOUR site, I wouldn't be looking into adding duplicate content on it anyway. Always get unique articles for your site bro.

      Actually crediting means nothing, you need to obtain written permission. Crediting does not change the copyright laws. Only in certain editorial situation can you use small quotations under "Fair Use". Most people like to say fair use when they have no clue as to how to use it.
