Sorry - there's nothing you can do about someone admiring your style and wanting a similar design. Happens all the time = Get used to it or shut down your site. Be flattered perhaps... Truly though - There is really no way to stop people from ripping your style unfortunately - I see it all the time and who's to say the style wasn't originally birthed in someone elses mind...?
Hmmm - I'm sure you do not want to hire an attorney for everytime someone "borrows" an image from your site. Surely no... If yes - you may want to tell your attorney(s) to begin their hunt with Google Images
At anyrate - not to be a complete smartass - but that request you linked to is not requesting a rip of your site. It's someone who apparently admires your concept and wants a SIMILAR style.
I actually responded to that thread (without having looked at your site) because I am a Trekkie from way back - I thought it would be interesting to build a custom Star Trek themed vBulletin style.
Anyway - were I you - I would not worry about your theme being ripped - it's kewl - but it's not all that to be honest - and the images you have used for the header have been "borrowed" from elsewhere and you do not own any of the myriad Star Trek images that can be got 'round the www --- So - I think the lesson here is - what's good for the goose - is good for the gaggle. Respect the fact that someone admires your style as to emulate it.
