Are you sure? As I understand things, the symbol (C), that is the letter C in parentheses, has no legal bearing whatsoever. In general the word "Copyright" is sufficient for international copyright concerns, but if you want to add something else it should be the symbol ©, that is the letter C in a circle. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, but this is what they learned me at college. Though this was at about the same time as countries such as Mauritius, Liberia and the USA were becoming party to the Berne Convention, so maybe that changed things for the USA. I don't think this is the case though. Indeed, http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.html only talks about: The symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word “Copyright,” or the abbreviation “Copr.” I wouldn't have said anything, but your correction seems to indicate that the (C) is important.
