Debatable. Claiming copyright for a redirection file seems of questionable legality to me.
If you do not put the copyright into the file, the file automatically is copyrighted to the writer of the file.
Only if it constitutes an original work. If I create a file with an exact copy of something you wrote, I do not and cannot automatically obtain copyright on it. I need to introduce non-trivial original changes in order to be able to claim copyright on them. If the only thing I introduce is a copyright line that pronounces that I'm the author, I would definitely be on shaky moral and legal ground.
