If I understand you correctly, no. As I understand the preceding, YOU authored all the content in this document. Siggraph wrote absolutely none of the document. As I understand the preceding, Siggraph simply, for some reason, added that copyright language in case YOU might want it, and they provided a switch (*copyrightwanted =) to remove it. If that's true, I personally would have no problem with your removing it, and although I'm not a lawyer I'd bet heavily that removing it is perfectly legal.
