You can adopt a similar UI from a website but do not 100% copy it.

The look and feel of a website is usually - HTML + CSS + JavaScript

HTML - I will leave what HTML is all about as web-developer MUST know it. :)
CSS - Cascading style sheets will actually style your web page.
JavaScript - Effects, validations e.t.c. will be done using JavaScript.

You can right click on the web page, select 'View Source' and check the HTML and CSS used.

Or better, use tools like Web-developer, Firebug (both Firefox plug-in) to see how the UI of a web-site is designed and you can actually do a lot more with it.

Hope this gives you an idea.

If you can access/have rights of other website, link the css file to your page.
something like
http://Mysite.com/App_Themes/CSS/css.css in your page gives you the same look as in that site.

A user doesn't need rights to view/copy a CSS of a website. Moreover just copying the style sheet doesn't give a website same look and feel. The website must be designed using the elements, ids, classes present in the CSS to give a required look and feel.

I should be more specific.I was talking about Copying something like 'http://s.codeproject.com/App_Themes/Std/CSS/CodeProject.min.css?dt=2.3.110215.1' and designing the same UI might effect the copyrights though I am not sure.
Access to the site: if there is any change in the css from original site then that may effect the UI.

If a web page has a CSS associated with it, it is always rendered to the browser (just like HTML is). So it is ALWAYS available to the user for viewing(/copying). You don't need any rights to view a CSS of a web page.
And it's almost impossible to determine someone has copied your CSS unless the web page looks exactly the same. Two people can write very similar styles.
Access to the site: if there is any change in the CSS from original site then that may effect the UI.
You never link someone else CSS on your web page. You rather copy the styles to your own CSS file.
Hope that's clear now and makes sense to you.

Okay I think I got what you were talking all through. You meant someone will copy the CSS link of a website. But that is never done. As I said before, one copies the styles of a web page to his own CSS file/web page (in case of inline styles).

The answer has no relevance to the question. The OP is asking how to copy the UI of a website?
