Copyright Notice - Not Required But Helpful
You’ll often see a copyright “notice” – the familiar © or the word
“copyright” with a date and name of the copyright owner - posted on
works of authorship. This copyright notice is no longer required for
copyright protection, but it may be a good idea to use it.
Copyright is a legal form of protection granted by the U.S. Constitution
for original works of authorship. Things such as books, plays, music,
photographs and even websites are protected by copyright law.
