DA's policy against rips is almost non-existant. their windowblinds gallery is absolute garbage these days. it really falls into the lap of the skins and themes gallery director...who you'd think would be paying much closer attention with all of these vista rips. absolutely nothing will happen untill you hit the "submit deviation as policy violation" link...even then it's a crap shoot. what's even funnier is how the "rip users" (i won't call them artists) defend themselves after being called out. not a single one of them has ever done the right thing and either:
a) not submitted it in the first place
or

deleted it after being caught (some don't know the policy or some do but ignore it...seems to be common sense to me)
100 percent of the time they have a lame excuse as to why they should be allowed to post it and 100 percent of the time they are wrong.
what is with these people and the vista rips anyway?? seriously...it has to be the most "poser" thing you could do. why not just slap a lexus grille on your toyota and tell people it's a lexus? LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME
