It is, but it's insufficient protection for many content creators.

For example, a photograph or painting will need copyright protection long before it is "published." Same with a screenplay that a writer submits to a studio.

IIRC the Berne Convention also specifies protection the instant the work is in a "fixed form." IMO that's a much better standard than publication date.
