My wife is not a lawyer, but she's worked as a paralegal (although not in 
Intellectual Property law). She thinks you don't need to do anything 
special to collectively own the copyright, and cites authors 
collaborating on a book as an example--they don't have to form a 
corporation in order to share the copyright on the resulting work. Just 
state the copyright as, "This work copyright 1999 by Joe, Mary, Bob, etc."

Still check with a lawyer--my wife's smart, but she's not legally allowed 
to offer this as bona fide legal advice.
