    Hi all, I recently redesigned the web directory http://www.verydir.com

    Now it has been modified to google style...

    But I am not sure, is it OK to google?
    Or it has copyrights or not?

    Anyone knows about it ?

    Thanks...

    of course it has copyrights why would it not ?

    are you breaking them, that's another matter.

    are you taking a risk, that depends how much money you have for court costs :)

    did you read the sticky thread at the top saying "This Section is NOT FOR DISCUSSIONS ABOUT YOUR SITE!!! (or any specific sites)******* "
    NO !!

    they sure will have copyright. I would say you better design the site that's simple to use and not so colorful and not so many function. that's google's design.

    It's copyright violation

    It does n't matter until Google comes to know about this...
