Discussion: Is copying a layout stealing?

0
By Danny Outlaw on June 17, 2008

There plenty of sites out there showing sites that have been “inspired” by other designs, but are really nothing more than pure rip offs of the code and design elements. So where does stealing stop and inspiration begin?

My question is this; if you copy someones layout is that stealing? I’m simply referring to the layout of the site, not the code or any visual elements, just the way the site is laid out.

What do you think?
