I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

For countries in the Berne Convention (which includes the USA, Canada
and Europe
amongst many other places) you get copyright automatically on anything you
write, code, draw or film as soon as you make it.

So Rhizome has copyright on the design of their website and the content they
themselves have made, and individual posters and artists have copyright on
their postings and work on the site.

Thanks, Rob - The copyright notice refers to Rhizome's specific graphic
material – the site design basically. Its not terribly necessary to have
the notice there. We could take it off, or clarify it.
