(Exceptions being when that work is "for hire" -- then the copyright belongs to the hiring individual or organization.) No copyright notice is required.<BR/><BR/>But it is also true that when a work is published and the copyright owner makes no effort to protect their work, the copyright protection weakens and, in time and with repeated examples, whatever copyright there is quickly becomes unenforceable.<BR/><BR/>MySpace is a prime example where people are giving up their copyrights by not marking their works, nor pursuing violators.<BR/><BR/>But the absence of a (C) Copyright statement does *not* make a work freely available for anyone to use as they wish. Although this practice is rampant on the web, it is still wrong.<BR/><BR/>I notice that crimefilenews.com has a copyright notice.
