Can i use rules from another website as my own?

I need to come up with some rules, but as you may know, they take a very long time to write up. So I was wondering if I could take someone elses rules on their website and post them as my own? or If i put their website domain name at the bottom of the rules signifying that they are theres, then may I use them?

    Dependent on what rules you are looking for there are sites that allow you to download certain legal documents and although there are some that allow you to claim authorship most ask that you credit them with a copywrite statement. Google for examples of what you require and check their conditions of use. Jim

    You would more than likely still need to edit parts of it to fit your own code, positioning, sizes, colours etc so in the end it will be your own style, you just used someone else's CSS to get you started.
