Perhaps, because (c) is not _legally_ equivalent to the copyright
symbol. Of course you don't actually need any copyright symbol at all. (I'm
not a lawyer so don't take my word for it, but see

I've just done a quick test and both Netscape 1 and Mosaic handled it just
fine. Now, the trademark symbol isn't as well supported and I
would recommend using <SUP>TM</SUP> instead of &trade; if anyone ever
has need of it in a web page.

You can also use the &copy; to get a copyright symbol in HTML.
