automatically adding copyright

Some other programs (ie: Lightroom) have a nice simple checkbox option to add copyright notice to all exported files.

Is there a way to either add a watermark, or at minimum, set the EXIF Copyright data, appropriately, and automatically? I would be happy to install a plugin if one was required. However, I have had no luck even searching for a plugin for this.

I'm not a fan of watermarks personally, but it's something you could do manually:

Some folks have even gone so far as to make a "copyright" brush that they can use to stamp directly onto any images. If you need to do this for many images quickly you can use Imagemagick:

You can also use exiftool to add to the EXIF data:

exiftool -artist="Phil Harvey" -copyright="2011 Phil Harvey" a.jpg

Not a fan of commandline any more. I'm surprised there isnt a plugin, or better yet, a GIMP default itself, to do this. Thanks for the tip about the brush.
Found a quickie tutorial for this at https://youtu.be/fsdYymKi2HM?t=1m9s
