I point you to:

http://www.loc.gov/copyright/faq.html

where you will find:

"When is my work protected?

Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed
in a tangible form so that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid
of a machine or device."

and

"What is a copyright notice? How do I put a copyright notice on my work?

A copyright notice is an identifier placed on copies of the work to inform
the world of copyright ownership. While use of a copyright notice was once
required as a condition of copyright protection, it is now optional. Use of
the notice is the responsibility of the copyright owner and does not require
advance permission from, or registration with, the Copyright Office. See
Circular 3, Copyright Notice for requirements for works published before
March 1, 1989 and for more information on the form and position of the
copyright notice."

and, amazingly,

"How do I protect my sighting of Elvis?

Copyright law does not protect sightings. However, copyright law will
protect your photo (or other depiction) of your sighting of Elvis. Just send
it to us with a form VA application and the $30 filing fee. No one can
lawfully use your photo of your sighting, although someone else may file his
own photo of his sighting. Copyright law protects the original photograph,
not the subject of the photograph."
