Question COPYRIGHT on your FOOTER ?

Does S-B-I Automatically Copyright your website for you when it is built ?

Do i have to physically Copyright the webiste myself with a lawyer or however its done ?

Is your website automatically copywritten once built already ?

I simply want to know if i can place the copyright symbol on my footer with copyright including the year on it and if so where do i get the (c)copyright symbol from ? :?:

Hey Revenue,

There's is a rule/law that anything you write and publish on your website is automatically copyrighted by you. SBI! has a "Footer Builder" (located in Site Central) that allows you to add a copyright statement if you wish to make it look more official. The HTML symbol for the copyright symbol is & copy ; (it's all run together but I had to seperate it for the forum so it wouldn't display the actual symbol)

I could explain the legal differences in a more in-depth manner (I love legal things :P), but for all practical purposes:

© = Something that is usually longer, such as a document, that you have not officially registered with the government.

™® = Something you have officially registered with the government.
