[Tex/LaTex] How to add copyright notice (in a box with borders) at bottom of first page

boxescopyright

I want to add a box with some copyright statement at the bottom of my paper.
What is the easiest/best way to do this?

Ideally, the box would have the width of the text, and be horizontally centered.
Also, I don't want it to interact with any potential (IEEE-based) style files that might set footers etc.

(I've looked into the fancyhdr package, but \fancyfoot{copyright statement...} puts a footer at every page except the first one; and I only want the statement to appear on the first page)

You can do this in several ways; for example you can use the textpos, or the atbegshi package, or TikZ. Here's an example using TikZ:

\documentclass{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newcommand\copyrighttext{%
  \footnotesize text text text text text text text text text text text text
   text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
   text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
   text text}
\newcommand\copyrightnotice{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[anchor=south,yshift=10pt] at (current page.south) {\fbox{\parbox{\dimexpr\textwidth-\fboxsep-\fboxrule\relax}{\copyrighttext}}};
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

\begin{document}

\copyrightnotice
\lipsum[1-10]

\end{document}
