Does anyone know of a standard copyright notice that I could put on my website?
Is there a properly worded statement that I could use or do you just more or less make something up that sounds right?
I already have a notice that I made up myself but I would change it if there was an accepted correct way of doing it.
I know that you can't actually prevent people from cutting and pasting your text or right-clicking photos and saving them but a nice bit of legalese might put some off!

Thanks in advance,
Joe
