ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Right to quote

Imagine you are playing with your toys and your friend says something really funny. You want to share what your friend said with your mom, but you don't want to take credit for it because your friend said it first. You can use the right to quote to tell your mom exactly what your friend said without getting in trouble for copying them.

The right to quote means that if someone says something important or interesting, you can share it with others as long as you give credit to the person who said it first. It's like sharing a recipe with your friends and telling them where you found it. You're not taking credit for the recipe, but you're sharing it so that others can enjoy it too.

The right to quote is important because it allows people to share information and ideas without getting in trouble for copying someone else. It's like a secret code that helps people share information without breaking any rules.

So remember, when you're playing with your friends and they say something cool or funny, you can use the right to quote to tell others what they said as long as you give your friends credit for it. It's always important to give credit where credit is due!
