nope, actually, the person who is going to protect the style of this site is the creator, Princeton... he was alerted as soon as the report was made (hey, by me as usual), and i suppose Joe will handle it with his own copyright infrigement policy!
It depends really. Everyone nicks mods/code bits from other sites. If they copied the style completely, yeah, that's crap, but there really isn't much to be done about it.
Not to mention that this style is a beast. I did my own version of Princeton's tab script up top. It took me months to sort out and doesn't work/look nearly as good as his does, but it's where I got the idea. I honestly can't see many people being able to spot-on copy this theme without being good enough to code one like it of their own.
The vb.org style is pretty basic and easy to copy, if someone really wanted to. It's bog-standard graphics mostly with some tabs. In fact, I do believe we have a variation of it on our graphics site... not the same but similiar and have had it a long time.... I think (if memory serves) we used some nicer graphics than the vb default images tho... that's me not liking the default images, not criticising the vb org style
