Because it does not include an examination process (as for patents), even a formal registration is not incontrovertible proof of copyright. The UK's IP office sums it up excellently:

Note that neither registration nor sending a copy of the work to yourself show that you were the creator of the work. Keeping copies of all your drafts and any other material that shows your connection with the particular copyright material as you develop it could, however, be useful evidence if you ever have to prove that you are the author.
