As I posted on your forum about robotics.tk,

Quote:

Hello, I'm also a web developer for a USFIRST robotics team. It has been brought to my attention that your website violates copyright laws, and you did NOT design your website. Your website is infact a rip, or copy, of another website named 2advanced, a respected and very professional company. I have not yet contacted the company, but I believe legal action can be taken if the design is not removed. Thank you for reading this post, and please answer promptly.

Re: Team 408 Roboticks

Our site is not a rip, copy, etc. While I admit that I have seen the 2advanced site and it looks similar to ours, we by no means copied it. THe color scheme and layout is similar, ours is different in many ways. I quote one of my team members' posts on our forum Here

-Sound files.
-Positioning of files.

amongst others. Our team colors are black, gold and red, and these are trhe colors that we chose for our website. These colors are as close to our team colors as possible, while still making for a good color scheme. Black, red and yellow do not make for a good website, so we instead chose a gray and a color between red and gold, which would be the orange. Our site also ties in with our schools, and if you follow the link on the website to our school webpage, you will see that our school colors are orange and green. Green did not match our color scheme, so we did not include it. The orange on our page is also similar to our school's orange.
Also, if our site coincidentally looks similar enough to 2Advanced to warrant copyright infringement lawsuits, we still have the law on our side
please visit The United States Copyright Law Page and refer to sections 501 and 506.

Copyright infringement is defined as:

We receive no commercial advantage or financial gain from our site, nor is the value of our site more than $1000. As a matter of fact, our site loses us money.
I am apalled and shocked that you would even suggest that our hours of long work and sleepless nights trying to get this website up fit under the category of a simple "rip from a site." All of our content was created by our teams of web designers, and I am suprised that you would suggest otherwise. We use FIRST for the hands-on experience, and this is what we got. A "simple rip" would be well outside the purpose of FIRST, which is to educate the youth about technology. That is why we spent our long hours working on the website rather than copying it, as you suggested
