Best Answer

Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution creates Copyright. Since then the specific rules have been tinkered with regularly by Congress to benefit corporations at the expense of the public good.

Where do you register a copyright law?

Copyright laws are created by the legislature, often in conformity to multi-lateral treaties. The laws are automatically registered when they become enacted. If you're asking how to register a copyright, the answer would depend upon what country you're in, what type of work it is, and who owns the copyright. In the vast majority of cases, no registration is required. In fact, there are only a few dozen countries that even have any facilities for registering copyright.
