My understanding of copyright law (limited) was that if one expects
something to be protected by copyright, then one has to inform
potential viewers/readers/listeners.  Otherwise they may not know to
protect your content.  Thus without a (c) attached, then one could not
come back and claim infringement.

Thus I thought that the default was NO copyright.  You are saying the
default IS copyright.  Perhaps this is the blind arguing with the
blind... :-)
