    Hey,

    Please have a look at this website: This

    The first website from it's kind was: This

    I want to open a website with similar service, now my question about copyrighting is that:

    Am i allowed to make almost the same design as the first website?
    Am i allowed to make almost the same text?

    Thanks in advance!

    1) You may want to redo those links as the mods do not like shortened links in posts around here.

    2) Layout and titles cannot be copyrighted.

    Certainly do not copy any content. Even though it would not be illegal to lay your site out in a similar manner and even use the same topic headers, if you do people will not respect your site. You're better off being as original as possible.
