VerifiedGood Afternoon
My name is ***** ***** I am a NSW Solicitor. Thank you for your question, and will do my best to assist you with your question.
In Australia copyright is automatic and is not registered.
Here is the link for the copyright Council Australia.
http://www.copyright.org.au
In relation to the US you may have to register the copyright to protect your interests.
You can register online using the following link.
http://copyright.gov/eco/
But you are protected in Australia under the Copyright act.
the cost will be advised once you get to the end of the process to register in the United States.
But there is no costs associated in Australia.
I hope this is of assistance and make sense.
