Adding copyright information to a Website

Question

I'm working on a website for a client that is a non-profit. The want a Copyright link at the bottom of the site. My question is do they have any legal rights? What kind of info should i put? etc etc.

Is it good enough to basically just add something like "(c) 2010 [My Client]. All rights reserved."?

Additionally for a user agreement and privacy policy can just copy one that fits our site kind like these:

• http://www.reddit.com/help/useragreement
• http://www.reddit.com/help/privacypolicy

Edit: We are based in the USA if that helps.

Answer 1

Anything you create is implicitly copyrighted in the US. It is however helpful to place a notice anyway, and to put somewhere that people actually have permission to actually use the site.
