Copyright placement

I have thought long and hard about this. But I wondered what the deal is about putting (c) 2000 mypage.com or myname on a web page. I always believed that the copyright statement you post is only as good as your will to defend it. I know it can be registered at LOC for only $20. Anyone have inciteful comments on this subject? Any clarifications to point out? Thanks

......is just about the long and short of it, but those couple of lines are extra ammunition if you ever decide to take legal action etc. If you want to throw away $20 - throw it at me! It will be about as much protection. (Although the same argument goes for that as well I suppose)
