what?.. are you trying to say?

you made a template for someone else and they put a copyright notice on the footer? well.. everything online is copyrighted the moment it goes online, so the copyright notice is there just to tell people to not rip their content

As far as I know, you copyright it for free, it is your work why sould you have to pay some one for your own work. Patents and trade marks are a little different though.

I've had some experience with this issue so here's the deal:

Anything creative (such as art, music, design, etc.) is automatically under copyright protection from the moment it's published. Therefore, it's completely alright to put a copyright notice on the bottom of your page. Just "Copyright," along with your name or website name is fine. "All rights reserved" is a different story and it's not really necessary for you.
