Despite the fact that web has become so popular, many people are still not aware that web designing and web content are subject to copyright laws. This, in simpler language, means that web design and web content already existing on another site cannot be copied.
The copyright also extend to colour scheme, links, graphics, logo and all other web content.
Web Design Copyright Violation
Assume a person either owns a website or intends creating a new website and selects designs for use from different existing websites. As there is possibly very little time available before designing a full-fledged website, the web is created with designs liberally borrowed from other sites. This is a cognizable offence and the owner or owners of the original websites can proceed legally for violation of the copyright laws.
