Default DMOZ

I have a "competitor" who used to work for me and now makes knockoffs of my fork lift ramps. A couple days ago i noticed that DMOZ says that copyright infringement will get you removed from the directory. now since they use part of my sales brochure as the page header on almost every page in their website i figured aha gotcha. i contact dmoz and was told there was nothing i could do to "prove" copyright infringement and as such there was no chance they would remove the offending site from their directory. further they are listed in a half dozen places in dmoz also offending against the terms and conditions to be listed.
while the editor i was talking to seemed a nice enough fellow it really doesn't seem that they make any effort to enforce their own rules.
to add joy to my life while my erstwhile employee has been able to list a number of times in dmoz none of my submissions has been listed in the last year.
