Yeah, I know that, and you know that, but there's a lot of people out there who still think (through ignorance) that if there is no copyright notice, they can just take it and do whatever they want with it. If nothing else, having a copyright notice (where/how applicable) can help stave off having to waste your time with people in that category.
