I think it is still a requirement in Canada, but not in the US any more. In the US anything written down has a copyright apparently, even your grocery list. I recall a case where a Canadian art book author was objecting to the need to deposit one copy of his fifty hand made books with the government library. I don't know what happened in that case.
