Propably too late, but still here is my 2 cents:
There is definetely nothing wrong with stating that you have the copyright. 
Because you still do. CC relies on this fact in order to work at all. By 
applying a license, you simply let other people use your work. You don´t give 
away the copyright itself.

Greetings
Chris
