Definetly. If I was to give advice, it would be to use 'Copyright (c)' etc. I was just playing devils advocate for a second and noting that there has been no precedent saying that (c) is not equivalent to c-in-a-circle (at least to my knowledge.) Because of that, it's not possible to know if (c) 1997 Foo bar Baz is a valid copyright statement, or an invalid one. > > ___ > > / \ > > | C | 1997 Foo Bar Baz.
