sorry...you are wrong....if you don't copyright something....it is not copyrighted...no matter what anyone tells you. Simply putting the little "&copy" there doesn't mean anything.

I suggest you read the law - It clearly dictates that any works made by you are copyright to you, no matter whether you put a full blown "Copyright&copy2003 [name]hellsatan[/name]" there or not...

and even if you were right.....and there are copyright issues, then vb.org cannot take posession of the style for the same reasons that nobody else could.

Yes they can - vB.org specifically state that the competition requires the entry submission of a style (or more) from you, when you acknowledge and willingly transfer copyright and ownership of the style to them if it is chosen - It is legal

That was a contradiction

Maybe it was...

Anyway....no worries....as I said....it will suit the vb.org real well....unless someone decides to make a stink over vb.org violating the style creators "copyright"

There should be no issue - vB.org simply stated that the conditions of them controlling the copyright and having ownership of the style are dependant on a credit being in the footer
