Can I copy someone's online working system such as how they produce work, advertising, and sales, without violating copyright law?

If you are seriously worried about this, consult a lawyer: you cannot depend upon a public forrum link Answerbag.

I believe that a method of working would eb a subject of patent rather than copyright law. The layout of theri advertsising etc. would be subject to copyright, which does not to be explicity registered. But a method or process, the way they go about things, would have to be patented. And to do that, they would have to apply explicitly for a patent within a certain time period after their method became publicly known. If they have not done so, then the method is in the public domain and can be used by anybody.

This assumes that the method is actually in the public domain. How did you learn about this system? If it was by working for somebody, they could state that this system, known only to employees, is a trade secret which you, as an employee, had a duty to protect. At this point you have to check your emploment contract ver, very carefully.

If in doubt, consult a lawyer.
