Removed
AlexP:
If the author of a removed theme feels it shouldn't have been, they can of course explain to us why it does not infringe copyright, and if it then turns out to have been removed in error it can be re-added.
ZincAlloy:
what's wrong with the brushed metal themes? they have the same (descriptive) names for obvious reasons...
I wasn't aware how many themes were violating copyrights. so many were using ipod or Zen Vision M graphics or manufacturer's logos...

It seems I didn't make myself clear, although I started with "I'm all for cleaning up copyright violations". I'm just saying that if this is done by just one person's criteria, objectivity could be lost. In this case, just as an example, ZincAlloy (the person who is going to delete violating themes) made recently a theme called Brushed Metal, in the wiki he states

, while since 2006 theres is a Brushed Metal theme by Zakk Roberts (no licensing). Similarities are evident. But my point is not "the Brushed Metal themes"; it is objectivity in applying criteria.
Llorean:
I'd say "if it reuses pieces of other peoples' work without explicit permission in the form of a license" is pretty objective, though...
