Just for the record:
The "copyright" word and the copyright sign © are elements of the World
Copyright Convention, which your country (FR) has signed as well. US law
is irrelevant. The copyright symbol is thus in a sense part of French
legislation (even though it is in practice not required thanks to the
Berne convention).
