In almost all European nations, copyright is automatic - there is no
need to write a formal notice.

In the US, it used to be necessary to add a copyrightnotice. I believe
this changed early this year, when the US govt. sign the Berne
convention (or whatever it's called nowadays), which explicitly states
that no such formality (of copyright notices) is required.

But I may have got things wrong ...
