Layout Copyright?

[mattr12]

I downloaded a layout, and I think that the guy who made it forgot to code it. All he did was give the psd. I had to code it on my own, and also, the website that it's copyrighted under no longer exists. Would this still be copyright infringement if I removed the copyright sign?

simply put yes...

until he releases the rights to you (or anyone else) they are his...
