im going off of the TOS, what they put in the source has no effect if it's not stated in the TOS (legally speaking) and nothing says it MUST be visible at all times... j/s

this may be more of a debate for vb.com.... but i've got my conclusion, not off this thread, but from vb's official license holder TOS, and thats what i will base my designs off of =)

technically speaking, from their TOS i COULD only show the (c) on the index if thats all i wanted it to show on, i wont be doing it this way... but just again legally speaking per their own TOS =)
