"This means that you don’t need to do anything to have copyright over your works."
But you DO need a copyright notice to collect damages for infringement. Without a notice, the most you can get is an injunction to stop infringement.
"Often, source code files repeat the file name in the file itself."
So you can tell which file when printing, or when viewing through a broken web interface.
"But you DO need a copyright notice to collect damages for infringement."
Really? I would need some kind of source for that claim.
Yeah, that is wrong. The distinction is that damages are often a pittance unless the copyright is registered.
