It's one thing to look at the source to see how a particular element was
done. It's another to take an entire page and just change some of the info
here and there, which is what was suggested in the article.

Code is content even if it is not seen unless a "view source" is used. There
is creativity in layout and that is copyrightable. (check out the C-Net site
for their notice)

It's one thing to "play" with code, and quite another to post your stolen code
on the web.
