What's good text to use for copyright protection in a website footer? Is "©2008 (name)" enough? Is it worth putting anything else about no reproduction without prior permission, etc?

Copyright, copywrong, either way you're an asshole.

I like putting the basic copyright, as you put it, somewhere very visible. Somewhere deeper in the site I like to spell everything out, permissions, etc.

I think what you describe, Nightsahde, is good enough. I personally think too much legalese on your homepage compares to driving a convertible with blaring music around and around a neighborhood.
Your lawyer might advise you differently, but they're a lawyer.

yep. that's good enough. Remember that you can always have separate pages for the privacy statement, terms and conditions and that sort of stuff where you can get more into detail.
And true... lawyers might disagree.
Last time a client's lawyer advised the client to modify the footer to ad about 3 long sentences of unnecessary crap and getting into details about what's copyrighted and how the since we had a photoshoot for all the images, those images were totally protected yada yada yada...ridiculous.
