In a class I took in IP (intellectual property) it was explained that a work has a copyright the moment it is created and that submitting the paper work and check with the Library of Congress registers the copyright.
Having a copyright on your work is an awesome thing if all parties will honor that copyright. Facebook is sort of the wild, wild, west in that they will take down accounts that violate social norms but it make take some doing to get that done if they do it at all. I alerted Maly Modelarz that I saw their work on the FB group and they responded that you needed a special kind of paper in order to make their models work. Quote:

From the UK govt:
You get copyright protection automatically - you don’t have to apply or pay a fee. There isn’t a register of copyright works in the UK. You automatically get copyright protection when you create:

Right, you are "protected" from the moment of creation but if you want to present a "legal defence" you had better have the document because anyone can slap any notice on any work and it becomes "open for dispute", to avoid this potential, get it registered.

Sure, you can prove that you are the creator in court with reams of paper but with one simple document, it would never get that far.
I can think of a good number of practical reasons to get it registered and very few good reasons not to. In "my line of work" it is CRITICAL (how can you leverage a copyright without officially owning it?) So for me, it is essential.

I am closing this thread before it devolves anymore. This topic has been covered ad nauseum.
