    If you did not own the copyright in the first place you may get in trouble for modifying irrespective of if you leave the copyright logo on there or not.

    technically, no you don't. If you change the template enough that it is not identifiable, you are safe. But keep in mind, someone spent time to make the site. Throw them a link and karma will pay you back.

    Good advice, the original designer has done the hard part so why not give him some credit!

    Yes of course leave the copyright. You probably aren't supposed to be editing it anyways if it's a real copyright.

    Best to be safe. Its kind of rude to remove copyrights of other peoples coding. Even if you change the colors.
