I really liked this site, and kinda used some ideas from it when designing my site, now I am thinking that it is too similar. Do you think I am commiting copyright infringment, or are they different enough?

My site:
http://www.thelnews.com/dottech/dottech.php

My inspiration:
http://www.revision3.com

Thanks

In my opinioin, they are very different...a little similar layout but a very common 3 column format and a similar color theme wouldn't fall into copying in my opinion

I would say you improved greatly on the layout too.

I think you're fine. If you hadn't told me where you got the inspiration from I never would have thought it myself. There's always going to be a certain amount of similarity between sites, but your site is definitely different enough from the orignal.

Aside from the colors used I really don't see much similarity. For the record, I like yours better anyway.
