Hi I want to make my copyrights correct. But I wonder what I shall write in the copyright section.
For example: Super Smash Bros. Melee
On the wikipedia page it says that Hal Labratory is the developer, and that Nintendo is the Publisher.
The question then is: Which one should I put in the copyright section, or should I put both??

QuoteUse the format used in the picture - <Publisher> © <Year Published>

Although someone else might have more insight.

Here is an example
Banjo Kazooie is developed by Rare and published by Nintendo.
As you can see in Dekus Banjo Kazooie arrangements, in the copyright he puts Nintendo/Rare.


So you could put Nintendo/Hal Labratory

The Publisher is the one you put, as they're the ones who own the rights to the music.

In the case of Smash, you'd put the piece's (in the case of remixes) original publisher as well as Nintendo.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

I think I'm going to do as Mariolegofan suggested. That way I can't get it wrong.
