moving copyright line from the center to the left

I try to move the copyright line to the left, I have tried to add "text-align: left;" to the following:

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
font-size: 0.9em;

padding-bottom: 8px;
}

#siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {

}

but it has no influence on the line, it stays in the center.
How can I move it to the left and add a padding of 20px from the left,

Thank you

This works for me:

#siteinfoLegal {text-align:left; margin-left:2em;}

when added to the bottom of the stylesheet.

#siteInfoLegal is centered in a statement after the one you mentioned, so changing that one won't work.

Thank you, text-align: left didn't work, but this one worked for me:

#siteinfoLegal {float:left; margin-left:2em;}

Where is this code located in 1.3.9? I tried searching all over to remove the IP address info and no such luck finding 'siteinfoIP'

That is a completely different question from the OP, but there is an admin switch in
Configuration > Layout Settings > Footer - Show IP Address status.
