Answer

Copyright covers the creative and original expression of ideas, not ideas themselves. At the moment somoeone creates a writing/photograph/music etc. they own the copyright. You can register your copyright, but that is optional. If you do it gives you more rights to damages in the event of a successful lawsuit. You do not need an attorney to get the copyright online, there is a small fee, forms to fill out, and you must submit your copyerighted work. You can do this at http://www.copyright.gov/
