I have actually looked into this at the US copyright website and one does not actually have to go and get it copyrighted in order for it to be copyrighted. I believe all material is considered copyrighted now unless it is something considered to be "common knowledge"-like "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". There are also specifics to copyright infringment like-it's not infringment for me to photocopy my sorority ritual and give it to anyone I want, but it is copyright infringment to sell it. It's an interesting website, I'll post it if I can find it.
