Lawyers told me otherwise:

"A website is copyrighted at the time of development. So putting the 
copyright notice on the bottom of a site states that the material 
displayed is not to be used without permission of the owner. In fact, 
you don’t even need the notice to claim copyright."

"It is also common for the text, HTML, and script elements of a page to 
be taken and reused. If you have not gotten permission, you have 
violated the owner's copyright."


The legal point is that by adapting the original HTML you are creating a 
*derived* HTML document which includes the other copyright contents 
contained within the page text without permission from the original 
creator - and then distributing it without their permission. That 
derivative distribution is what you get in trouble.
