How might this apply to content on a personal website? What I'm gathering from the article/discussion is that a Copyright message in my footer may not be enough to copyright all my works. Therefore, I should generate a small copyright notice at the end of each blog post as well that more claims explicit copyright over the article. Do I understand that correctly or can someone clarify? (Thanks in advance)

I wasn't sure it would be enough on my own site so I put a notice in the footer notifying that some rights are reserved and then linking to a page that specifically breaks down content by section and the license terms applied:

Perhaps as you mention it's necessary to publish more explicit notices alongside content. But perhaps not. This ruling seems to relate to data, possibly distinct from creative works.

I have noticed that automated bots always scrape and repost my blog posts on a variety of websites. I don't really care but something to keep in mind. No copyright notice will stop a script that can't understand them.

You’re right but should it come down to a lawsuit your butt is covered. You’re probably never going to go after someone unless they reach financial success with it anyway. Also, what about disincentivizing anyone who might know how to exploit content not properly copyrighted online?

It’s probably a lot like the piracy problem — Don’t spend a lot of time fighting it because those people don’t pay, but secure the legal rights to your works well enough to fight anyone with more sinister plans than making just a copy or two.
