"A widely circulated strategy to avoid the cost of copyright registration is referred to as the "poor man's copyright." It proposes that the creator send the work to himself in a sealed envelope by registered mail, using the postmark to establish the date. THIS TECHNIQUE HAS NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED IN ANY PUBLISHED OPINIONS OF THE UNITED STATES COURTS. The United States Copyright Office makes clear that the technique is no substitute for actual registration. The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office discusses the technique but does not recommend its use."

"It is a common misconception to confuse copyright registration with the granting of copyright.
Copyright is itself an automatic international right, governed by international conventions - principally the Berne Convention (which dates from 1886). This means that copyright exists whether a work is registered or not. When the US finally signed up to the Convention in 1989, the internal registration system was retained, but foreign works must now be treated as though already registered in the US in accordance with the Berne Convention."

In Amerika gibt es eine Registrierungsbehörde, das "United States Copyright Office". Dort läßt man seine Werke registrieren und zahlt dafür eine Gebühr (es kostet also Geld). Das liegt daran, daß das amerikanische Recht die Registrierung verlangt, bevor ein Amerikaner einen Rechtsstreit gegen Plagiatoren führen kann, zumindest galt das in der Vergangenheit.
