Legal Theme Coding Question

    I have a question for those that code themes for VB.

    I am in a dispute with someone on a coding site...I stopped the project
    because he provided 100% content that was taken from another site. I went
    along with it for a bit, then decided it would only be right to cancel, about
    that same time, he is claiming he finished the project, bla, bla, bla...

    Lets say you were going to clone DP's theme (example only) how much
    work would be really involved in getting ready for a website?

    I need to know this since he ripped off the theme of another site (not dp)
    and i really need to know how much actual coding he did (approx) to get
    the theme ready for another website....

    He is claiming he did all this work, and I do not see how he could
    have if he ripped the entire theme/graphics from another site...

    So how much work did he really do?

    Thanks

    If his work is 100% resembling to the work already there, then i don't think he used his potential. He is just copy-cat. Cloning is easy for person having little knowledge of programing.
