I've never found any easy resource explaining Copyrights; is it true that just stating "Copyright (c) 2010 My Name\Company name" protects that original work you just did?
Pretty much, yes.
Quote:Is this internationally accepted (in the majority of nations, at least)?
Yes; please google "Berne convention".
Quote:Do you need to pay anything to the government of your country to make it oficial, or just by placing that copyright line you are protected?
You never need to pay anything for a copyright. There is no process for "registering a copyright". It is different from trademarking or patenting.
