I have never been in a situation like that before. I found this website that has great references for anyone struggling with an ethical issue.

On another note, in my Business Link class last night we had the opportunity to hear a copyright attorney lecture. TJ O'Donnell discussed how you are only copyrighting someones work if you are stealing the expression (design elements/style) not the ideas. Meaning its okay to use other's work for inspiration if you are only using their idea; but you must execute/express the idea in an original way.
