At least in the Netherlands (and i believe this goes for most if not all of 
Europe), it's pretty hard not to be a copyright holder: you're automatically a
copyright holder when you create a nontrivial work. Registering your copyright
is optional (but can make things somewhat easier in case of a dispute).

So yeah, I'm a copyright holder, mostly some software here and there and a
couple of publications in online and dead-tree magazines.
