Best Answer

You automatically receive copyright protection as soon as a work of sufficient originality is fixed in a tangible medium that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.

In the United States, you can also register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office which will provide benefits in addition to the automatic copyright. If you successfully sue someone for infringement of a registered work, you may be eligible for statutory damages and your attorney's fees. Also, if your registration is within 5 years of publication of the copyrighted work, the registration is considered prima facie evidence of your copyright in a court of law.
