Maybe you are confused with a compilation notice that would say "All
Content Copyright and other rights reserved by its Respective Owners" or
something similar. That is not the same thing as claiming ownership
using the "c" inside the circle.
There is also a difference between claiming a copyright for individual
works as part of a compilation as opposed to claiming a copyright on the
compilation itself (which is what the current notice is).
