That is not a copyright notice, at least in the US. Title 17, Sec. 401(b) gives the form of a notice fairly clearly: The symbol ©, the word "copyright", or the abbreviation "copr."; the year of the first publication of the work; and the name of the owner of the copyright owner.


How's this:
   This document is Copyright 2004 by its contributors as defined
   in the section titled Authors.

I suppose "its contributers as defined..." would count as an readily-recognizable abbreviation to the copyright holders. Though I'd suggest "as listed", because "as defined" doesn't make sense.
