What constitutes copyright infringement in art and how can artists ensure they are not violating copyright laws?

Copyright infringement in art occurs when an artist uses someone else's original work without permission, such as copying, adapting, or distributing it. To avoid violating copyright laws, artists can create their own original work, obtain permission to use others' work, or use work that is in the public domain or under a Creative Commons license. It is important for artists to be aware of copyright laws and seek legal advice if unsure about using someone else's work.
