Poor mans copyright kicks ass
That's absolutely correct. The only reason to ever file a copyright through the government is so that you have a record of it on file to prevent yourself from ever having to go to court in the first place, and also preventing someone from wasting their money filing a copyright claim on something they have absolutely no rights to.

Bone, if you really filed a claim yesterday, it's invalid, and you just wasted your $3500 or whatever it was you paid.
