Interesting, the TVM works, but when reading the copyright disclaimer, I
noticed a little discrepancy in copyright procedures.

<quote>
The copying of the script in any way (including for its use elsewhere on the
Internet or any Intranet, even with modified timetable times and/or other
content) is strictly prohibited. The layout and "TVM" concept is © 2000
Proceed Media, All Rights Reserved"
<end quote>

Earlier in the copyright it said that:
<quote>
All pages (HTML files) and graphics in this site ("QROTI") are © Copyright
2000 Proceed Media, All Rights Reserved, excluding:

any graphic, picture, title, phrase or other already under copyright and/or
registration by any other person, company or organisation;
the image of the QR logo (excluding the QROTI logo and/or device) or any
graphic, picture, title, phrase or other already under copyright and/or
registration by QR.
<end quote>

I find it funny actually, how the disclaimer can on one hand say "Don't
touch our stuff", but on the other "we can use anything we want and we don't
have to tell you who owns it"

Gives them a pretty broad range using other peoples copyright material
doesn't it!!

I'm sure all webmaster would see where I am coming from..
