Copyright Boilerplate

peterpica

Does anyone have the verbiage for a copyright statement that includes multiple owners? I’m doing a high school literary yearbook with text and art contributions from several students. I’d like to have some kind of copyright notice on back of title page. Currently I have a placeholder... “Copyright (c) 2009 by XYZ High School. All rights reserved”.... I’d like to include the contributors too, but would prefer to have some kind of blanket verbiage — and not name them all.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The copyright is usually reserved for the single owner of the whole publication. Contributors of content are usually noted per item, or in a section of acknowledgments where copyright(s) of included work(s) are stated.

Cheers!
