A short synopsis of the copyright process follows:

 

-- An original work is created by a musician, writer, artist, etc.	<<<< >>>>	At this point the work is not copyrighted
-- The creator fixes the work in some tangible form (paper, CD, tape, etc)	<<<< >>>>	Under the Berne Convention the work is now copyright protected, no matter what the tangible form is
-- The creator displays the © symbol, creator's name, and year the work was created	<<<< >>>>	Under the Berne Convention this is more a "warning" than a legal requirement, since any country that joins the convention agrees that the exercise of copyright shall not be subject to formalities
-- The creator registers the work with the U.S. Copyright Office	<<<< >>>>	Merely a fomality and unnecessary, since the work is already copyrighted
