Usually you the copyright text goes in the actual CD around the edges of the disc. Just like in the example below.
If you want to use shorter version of your copyright text you can put it in the middle, just below the CD hole.

Putting copyright text on the CD or Vinyl is completely optional. It is a good rule to do it to make sure all your recordings are protected.
