The copyright notice (c) commonly seen only asserts that the copyright holder is aware of his/her rights under law. Elfwreck is correct that no notice is required - all original material is legally copyrighted when put in a fixed form.
I'm not so sure that the ability to sue for punitive damages against copyright is a good thing, anyway. It's not like medical or legal malpractice where lives or health are at stake. If someone illegally profits from your work, then yes, getting your own money back is a good thing, but I don't see how Society benefits from excessivley punishing a recoverable economic loss.
