More Information from the Library of Congress:
"Under the present copyright law, which became effective Jan. 1, 1978, a work is automatically protected by copyright when it is created.  A work is created when it is "fixed" in a copy or phonorecord for the first time.  Neither registration in the Copyright Office nor publication is required for copyright protection under the present law.  There are, however, certain advantages to registration, including the establishment of a public record of the copyright claim.  Copyright registration must generally be made before an infringement suit may be brought.  Timely registration may also provide a broader range of remedies in an infringement suit."
