Are the songs on youtube copyright?
Anything that is written or recorded is automatically protected by copyright. Neither registration nor notification is not required for protection.
What are three ways to indicate a website has a copyright?

What can't I copyright that hasn't been copyrighted yet?
You can't copyright anything that isn't your original work. But since copyright is automatic, if something is copyrightable and it exists, it is protected. That is, there is nothing in existence that is copyrightable that is not copyrighted.

Yes; sound recordings have extremely convoluted copyright, but anything since 1978 is protected.
What things can you not copyright?
Anything that can't be "fixed in a tangible medium" cannot be protected: an idea, for example, needs to be written down or recorded somehow. Anything that isn't "of sufficient creativity" cannot be protected: recipes are the best example, because the list of ingredients isn't necessarily creative, but the formatting and printing of a recipe can be. At the moment, fashion is not protected by copyright, but this is being debated.
Who copyrighted the term 'copyright'?
