I don't see how you think you can protect a layout or a design... you are putting it out there for arguably 100,000's of people to see everyday.

I understand where you are coming from... it's your work product. You came up with the color scheme, the font, the table structure, the image sizes, the catchy text.

But I'm sure you have inadvertantly borrowed concepts from other people. Over time, you tweak them, maybe decide to put it on a different color background to see if that changes the click through rate. At what point does it stop becoming that other webmasters design and start becoming "YOUR OWN"??

well...anyway... just my thought on it... don't worry about it...and just go on doing your own thing.
