  Please see the relevant support doc here Prevent Content Theft – https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/#2-use-an-appropriate-creative-commons-license

  You can place a copyright notice in a text widget https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  Or you can simply copy and paste a copyright notice at the bottom of each post and page.

  A third alternative is CSS editing but it’s not done free of charge. Though removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme, and that you are hosting your site yourself is not allowed under the Terms of Service, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS, if you have purchased the Business bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ or Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ of upgrades, as they contain the Custom Design upgrade.

  Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or you can include a copyright notice.

  Note that once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.
