You may know that you do not have to register a copyright in order for your work to be protected under U.S. Copyright law. A work is protected the moment it is "created and fixed in a tangible form of expression" (e.g. when it is recorded or written down). That gives you some peace of mind. But proving ownership and establishing your creation date if someone infringes on your rights is often where the controversy begins.
