I've never favored copyright for works that aren't registered. At some point, one needs to claim legal ownership of one's works.
Many thanks.

I think I prefer automatic initial copyright.

Although perhaps a registration (say after about 20 years) and renewal system wouldn't be too hard a burden, provided it didn't have the excessively strict limits on exactly when renewal was required that appeared in the old US system.

Shame it will never happen.
