No you cannot "claim" copyright unless you are the original artist/author. Just because you "found" a copy of something does not mean you own the copyright for it.

You can't get copyright online or anywhere else. You already have it from the moment you put your creative work of original authorship down in any tangible form. You may optionally register your claim to that ownership, but the certificate from the Copyright Office certainly doesn't "prove" you wrote it or that you own the copyright, only that you officially claim it as yours.
How long does a copyright survive before someone can claim it?
Nobody can "claim" a copyright of something they did not create themselves, unless they purchase or inherit or otherwise legally receive ownership. Once copyright expires, nobody owns it and the work is "public domain" forever, or until Congress changes the laws to say otherwise.
Is every thing on the web copyrighted?
No, everything on the web is not copyrighted. You have to claim copyright by placing a copyright symbol or getting a license claiming it's protected.
