Adding copyright to my media upload website

Hi

I have created a media upload website.
Anyway, I'm concerned that my dear users might upload songs or videos, only to have them stolen by renegades and losers
I applied for trademark of my website name today on legalzoom.
I once heard that having a provable version of art, eg, a recording/book in a mailing, is as good as copyright.
Can I have a text field for my artist 'Megatrons' to say for their song 'home invasion'
" Copyright @2017 Megatrons"
and that have meaning, legally?
Thanks
What should I consider?

With all the legal suicides I've discovered about this media project, (several questions) - copyrights, prosecution due to prejudice on contest winners, and numerous others, I've deep 6'ed this one, and will be moving on to proposing to build a Jabba d'Hutt memorial palace to benefit the economy of Southeast North Carolina.

Thanks everyone
Thank you beavoid
