What would be the best and most semantic tag/method for including a copyright notice in the footer of a web site?

Put it inside your <footer> by all means, but the most fitting element is the small element.

The HTML5 spec for this says:

Small print typically features disclaimers, caveats, legal restrictions, or copyrights. Small print is also sometimes used for attribution, or for satisfying licensing requirements.
