Technically, and legally, as soon as you write the document it is copyrighted. However, that is hard to prove in a court of law. Registration with the Copyright Office is then suggested. Check out the site below for some excellent information.

U.S. Copyright Office (http://www.copyright.gov/)
Copyright Information Web site (http://www.copyrightwebsite.com/)

There is also another type of copyright, "Creative Commons". It is beginning to be used by many people/corporations/media outlets:

Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/)

(I studied and taught this in college ... don't try to make it too difficult. Anything on the Web is really up for grabs. The Creative Commons is quite good. Many musicians are beginning to use it because of its wide variety of application.)
