FWIW: - In the US, you can put a copyright on anything without actually sending it through the copyright office and it does become copyrighted property.- TM and SM can also be aded to a slogan, image, name, etc. without actually submitting anything to any authority.- R for registered trademark can be added to almost anything but unless you really register it with the PTO it is not protected.All in all, you are putting way too much enphasis on such trivial details. The bottom line is that whether they are a 1 man operation or a huge corporation, their TOS and AUP will be written so as to avoid any kind of liability.
