Copyrighting

"Copyright protection is automatic. As soon as the work is fixed in a *tangible* form it is protected under copyright law. You do not have to place a copyright notice on a work for it to be protected, but this is a good idea because it tells others to whom the work belongs."

More info from the University of California web site:

You can also register a copyright with the US Copyright Office but before you consider doing so, I would recommend reading this info on the same web site:
