because, it falls under copyright rules and if you dont credit the original author, you could be filed under plaigurism (sorry if i spelled that wrong)

You need to site your sources with a persnickety attention to detail so that you don't infringe on the copyrights of others, which would be considered plagiarism and could lead to legal jurisdiction.
