Generally copyright sign (perceived by some as "copyright logo") is rendered as a black and white c in circle icon, not a colored icon - copyright emoji. A copyright notice, either as © c circled copyright symbol or phrase, informs users of the underlying claim to ownership credit for a published work. For sound recordings you should use produced ℗ symbol instead. Copyright protection is automatic upon creation of the work, though in some countries, including United States, there are some benefits for works officially registered. Currently, copyright applies for an extreme term of life plus 50 or more years in almost every country. Only a handful of countries don't offer protection to foreign works - almost all countries respect copyright. When a work's copyright term finally ends, the work passes into the public domain - becomes free to everyone. Note that copyright protects only specific expressions of an idea, not the idea itself. Some ideas can be protected by patents registered per country, or zone (like European Union) in appropriate Patent Offices for a several times shorter, although still unnecessarily long term in my opinion.

In the United States, the copyright notice consists of three elements:

• The © symbol, or the word 'Copyright' or abbreviation 'Copr.';
• The year of first publication of the copyrighted work;
• Identification of the owner of the copyright, either by name, abbreviation, or other designation by which it is generally known.

Copyright, or copywrite symbol?

Note, that correct way to spell the word for giving credit to the author is copyright, like copy right put together, while copywrite is not exactly a correct word. A copywriter is an occupation of writing text for the purpose of advertising or other forms of marketing including social media. For some reason the writing that's produced through copywriting is called a copy.
