I did not say that copyright did not exist without registration; I said that copyright registration was neither long nor expensive, as the OP claimed, which threw into doubt both his knowledge and his lack of involvement with a company of dubious honesty. As I stated in my post, copyright exists from the moment of creation, as per Berne. However, registration serves as proof of the time of creation and which can be useful if you want to collect triple damages (as opposed to, say, just an injunction) in the courts. My point was that he claimed "long" was "filling in an online form" and "expensive" was $35, and I disagree on both counts.
There is nothing that the OP's (and your?) company can do that someone can't do for themselves.
