It is possibly and probably illegal, although it depends on what you're taking. Regardless of whether or not there's a copyright notice, the text of the website is copyright of the author of the text or owner of the site. There is a fair use exception to copyright; again, that gets into the amount and substantiality of what you're taking. Giving credit to the original author doesn't matter if you're infringing; it's still infringement.\n\nHere's a link about the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, which explains more about some of the issues involved: \nhttp://www.keytlaw.com/Copyrights/dmca.htm

no, not if you don't want it to, some companies will host your website for free if they can advertise on it, making your website look a little un-proffessional and the website address not so customisable. If you pay a small free for a host then they will usually let you use whatever website address you want and will not advertise on your website.

Absolutely, as long as the item you are selling does not infringe on someone else's trademark or copyright.

Copying information from websites is called plagiarism, and some schools have software which can tell if you have tried to pass someone else's work off as your own.

let me get this straight,  you did an image search in google and you found and image that you wanted to use and you downloaded and used it on you own website? \n\nyou are probably in breach of copyright how ever if you wanted to do that legally you could reference the image in you webpage from its original URL and then say where you got the image somewhere on your site

Yes.  Websites I'm currently involved with, or was involved with at one time, are listed in the sources.

putting a copyright button on the website doesn't make it a legal copy right. Websites are not copyrighted like that. What is copyrighted is the information and the name. You can send in an application to your state attorney ofice to register your business name as your website name and you can send in an application for trademark for your website/business name, thatway no one else can use that name for their business.

No...it is copyright infringement....I would seek permission first....and then you can acually sell the permission...lol...and make a profit.\n\nCopyrights are very easy to obtain...and there is not always a record of it. BE CAREFUL.

Amy,\n  It is perfectly legal to show someone else's RSS feeds on your own site if you mention where the information came from. When someone puts up an RSS feed, it is implied that other readers can read it however and wherever they feel like.\n  Hope that helps!

Some web sites will display on their site how you can link to their site if you want to use their content. If there is no such advice, then presume that you can't use it unless you ask their permisssion. Most sites nowadays are happy to give their consent as long as you link.

Legal obligations as far as what? If your building a website and dont know if its illegal to have what you putting on it the only one that would tell you that is the hosting company that is hosting the sites. Alot of time its standard things like no warez and no porn.

That information should be clearly layed out in the license agreement.  Typically, you have the right to modify the theme in any way once you have purchased it.  However, you cannot claim design credit to the template.

It's legal: there is no law regarding it.\n\nHowever you cannot directly link to copyrighted material. You can write the webmaster of that site for permission, and then publish it.

legally, the simple answer is you cant. To protect other users from malware (malicous software designed to glean information from other people, the designers from Myspace has restricted uploading files to only include formats for pictures and hyperlink-objects (the stuff you get form other websites to put on your page). That being said you could bypass it by placing html code within the comment that would luanch another website with an activex control. HOwever that requires extensive html porgramming experience, and as said earlier, not exactly legal

u need to cite it if it was a source, your taking someone else's, so yes, it would still be plagiarism
