Nirvana,

As for the code, unless it was copyrighted, it is not illegal. Just because it has that little copyright logo at the bottom does not mean it is copyrighted. I also guess that a lot of leagues have stolen at least a bit of code from another website. I know Cooley has, I know livnlegend has, I know I have, and I know many other commishes have. I find editing other sites code is one of the best ways to get better at writing HTML. Keep in mind, I always change the code myself, but looking at other peoples code does help. Also, 90% of leagues build their websites by trying to copy another websites design only with slight differences. Since theres 1 trillion sites out there, an original design is just about impossible. Just trying to clear up a few of your misconceptions.
