You don't need a copyright notice even in the US any more, afaik. The US
signed the Berne convention late, but did sign it.
You own copyright on anything you write, as logn as it's copyrightable in
the first place, of course. Not everything is.

And no, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV. And I don't see why
people discuss technicalities.
