In more than 160 countries of the Berne Convention, including the USA, copyright is completely free, as well as instantaneous and automatic. Registration is completely optional and the vast majority of copyrighted works are never registered. Even in the USA, where registration is required as a condition for suing someone in federal court, only a relatively few works are registered of the millions of new works created and copyrighted every day.
