"Simply knowing you have a copyright is not enough, however. In the event of an infringement, it’s important to have a registered copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office if you want to receive any damages. Most lawyers won't touch a case without a registered copyright. Thankfully, it’s very easy to obtain a registered copyright through online registration."
