The purpose of a META tag is to describe the content on the page to search engines and other databases. The inclusion of a META tag will not effect the appearance of the page in the browser -- it simply acts to describe the nature and ownership of copyrights.
example:
< META NAME="copyright" CONTENT="Copyright 1999-2000 Sierra On-Line, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Homeworld is a registered trademark and Sierra and Sierra Studios are trademarks of Sierra On-Line, Inc." >
Please include following text somewhere on the site's front page:
