A copyright notice tells the world that you claim protection under United States copyright laws for something that you have created. Later, if you sue someone for copying your work without your permission, this notice prevents them from arguing that what they did was an innocent mistake. The fact that you provided a copyright notice carries other advantages that may be important if your copyright becomes the subject of a lawsuit. For example, certain types of damages (monetary awards) are only available if you provided a copyright notice. These advantages are valuable, and the copyright notice is simple to create. Therefore, it is wise to create a notice and attach it to your work.
Under older United States laws, copyright notice was required before an author could claim protection of a work that was distributed to the public. However, the United States has changed its laws in an effort to become more uniform with international practices. Because the United States is a tremendous source of copyrightable material and a great exporter of movies, music, software, books, and other works that can be copyrighted, Congress believed that it was in the United States' best interest to conform to international copyright standards. Therefore, copyright notice is not required, and your original work receives copyright protection the instant that you express your original idea in some sort of medium (writing on paper, saving to an electronic storage device, or molding your lump of clay). However, because certain advantages only exist when you provide a notice, it is still wise to include a copyright notice.
The copyright laws protect that part of an author's work that is original. This means the part that reflects the creative effort of the author. For example, If you were to paint a picture of a room with The Mona Lisa hanging upside-down from the light socket, you would not have copyright protection in the Mona Lisa. Other people could still create their own rendition of the Mona Lisa without violating your rights. However, you could have copyright protection in the part of your painting that you created. This could include specific details in your painting as well as the broadly conceived arrangement of the room with the upside down Mona Lisa hanging from a light socket. If this explanation is unsatisfying, do not despair. Copyright law contains many tests and standards that are broadly defined and that do not provide authors with easy-to-follow, "bright-line" rules. However, if your work contains, in whole or in part, original material or an original arrangement of material, you may be entitled to copyright protection.
