It is not necessary to use both the word Copyright and the C-in-a-circle symbol. One or the other will do, but the symbol is preferred. The symbol is followed by the date (or dates, starting with the earliest and separated by commas), which is followed by the company name followed by a period. You can follow this with "All rights reserved." Here is an example of a copyright notice:
© 2004 by Company Name. All rights reserved
Notice that "All rights reserved" is not followed by a period. Here's an example of a copyright notice for a book that was published in 1998 and reissued in 2001 and 2004:
© 1998, 2001, 2004 by Company Name. All rights reserved
If the document is reissued over successive years, however, you can write the copyright notice as follows:
© 1998-2004 by Company Name. All rights reserved
The rules for writing the copyright page are not carved in stone. Look at books published by several publishers for other ideas. Here's another example:
© 2004 by Company Name.
All rights reserved. No part of this document may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without prior written permission of Company Name.
Copyright information should not spill over to the next page. You might have to reduce the type size to make all the information fit on one page.
A copyright notice is designed to tell you that a work is protected by copyright, who is the holder of those rights and when that protection began.
In the United States, a properly written copyright notice usually consists of three elements::
1. the © symbol (in some cases (c) is substituted), the word "Copyright" or abbreviation "Copr.";
2. the first year of publication; and
3. the owner of the copyright, either by name, abbreviation, or other designation.

Although notification is not required for protection, most include the word copyright and the (c) indication, the year, and the rightsholder. For example, see the bottom of this page which says Copyright (c) 2011 Answers Corporation.
A copyright notification usually consists of the word copyright or the symbol ©, the year the work was created, and the name of the copyright holder. For a printed photo it can be anywhere on the front or back, and in a digital file it can be embedded in metadata. However, notification is not required for protection: you don't need to put one there at all.
Generally a trademark wouldn't additionally require a copyright statement; the (tm) or (R) indication would cover it.
A notification is not required for protection. That being said, it normally consists of the word "copyright," the copyright symbol, the year, and the name of the rightsholder(s).
If the photo is altered for comedic effect, it may be used under the copyright exceptions for satire. However, no alteration can remove the copyright from a photo.
No; the creator retains the copyright unless other arrangements are made.
The image is still owned by and under copyright by the original creator of the photographer who created the ORIGINAL image. Taking a photo of someone else's photo does not transfer the copyright to you (the iPhone owner).
If you transmit a copyright photo, movie, or music file then copyright is involved. It's the act of copying, not the means, that counts.
If you want to use a photograph that is not in the public domain, and you do not own the copyright yourself, you must obtain the permission of the copyright holder. You do not need to buy the copyright itself. More often, you will simply obtain a license to use the copyright for your purpose, usually requiring payment of a royalty to the copyright owner. Some copyright owners have licensed their photos under licenses such as some of those of Creative Commons, which may enable people to use the photo without payment. If the photograph is in the public domain, you may use the photo freely. A photo may be in the public domain for many reasons, such as expiration of a copyright or intentional release of copyright.
No. Copyright is totally different thing than PHOTO COURTESY. PHOTO COURTESY means give honor to any photo by the quotations of author or owner. You can do the photo courtesy but You can do copyright for your purpose with out the permission of the author or owner. For Example: You have taken any photo and any newspaper or story writer or news channel want to show then they will enlist at the end of the PHOTO that COURTESY of ABC.
Copyright protection is automatic, and notification is not required. Virtually any image you encounter is protected by copyright unless specifically noted otherwise.
You couldn't, because it isn't your own original creative work. You could copyright a photo of your face, though.
Yes, though there shouldn't be copyright infringement. One photo can be easily attached through upload. More than one photo is a bit more involved but there is a process for putting more than one.
Nope , It's Illegal .
