When writing the "All persons fictitious" disclaimer, can you use the standard one that you see or is that one copyrighted? By standard one, I mean this: "This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."
it's not copyrighted by any particular person, so you can use it... however, displaying that caveat on your copyright page will not necessarily save you from being taken to court, if you've written about non-public figures without their permission, libeled anyone, or plagiarized, etc....
