This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow
the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost everything
created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and
protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for
other people's works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied
unless you know otherwise. There are some old works that lost protection
without notice, but frankly you should not risk it unless you know for
sure.
now, it is true that it would be difficult to collect any money from the
assholes who run cooking junkies unless they're making tons of money from
the site. but other than that, you're full of shit.
