I am wondering if that would legally protect work in the U.S. If that is not a good idea, then what is? How would one obtain a legal copyright? Do you have to submit something to the U.S. Pattent Office or something, or just use one of those websites for registering a copyright?

Also, what do other teams do with their sites? Do they copyright them and how?
Our site does use a Creative Commons License, and it does -- to a limited level of enforceability like any copyright -- protect our site's content. But I don't remember seeing your question anywhere... Did you ask via our Site Message System or our Ask188 feature a couple months back? A few glitches (that have since been dealt with) have made us lose some messages irreparably, but I see all of them that er, get through. Our bad on that one.
