Interesting. I suppose if someone copyrighted this material already legally since yesterday, you paid the initial $30 for registration of a claim to copyright. Then you paid the $580 for special claim to expedite the registration of your qualified claim, assuming your claim was qualified. I think there is a waiting period for approval of a claim as well, which would provide an opposing party the opportunity to file their claim too. So I doubt any claim filed yesterday is legally valid today.
