Website Copyrighting
Hi!
Can I put copyright info on each file which I have developed. answer most probably should be 'yes'. Actually, I am developing a site for one of my client, now if I give any copyright info then is there any problem that may I face. Thanks in advance! Samser

'usually' the copyright refers to the client, though depending on how you negotiated the deal copyright could be shared, Your mileage may vary (YMMV)

To whom do the files in question belong to? What kind of "copyright info" do you have in mind?

http://copyright.gov you can place the notice without filing but it won't hold up in court unless you file. You need to file as a literary work. See FAQs. Specifically Circular 66

As Ax indicates who owns the work you do depends on the contract you signed with the client.
"What Contract?" I hope not being the next question. Generally, you will be doing work for hire. That means the content you create, barring any exclusions explicitly outlined in the contract, belongs to the client. It's the same as being an employee for a company. The person who writes some rendering code for a game company does not own the code they write, the code belongs to the game company. Branding, crediting and other such things also belong in the contract. All this should be agreed upon before work commences on the project and before any payment is made. In general, if you have no contract but the client has proof of payment a judge will generally rule that your work was done "for hire" which means you own none of it, and possibly, the client has the right to not volunteer to advertise your services. If you get your house painted you may notice the contract has language in it concerning the "Bob's Painting" sign they put up, and you agree to leave it up for 7 days after completion of the work. Yeah, it's in the contract. This is almost wholly about your agreement with the client, and not at all about copyright per se.
