We should be able to legally protect copy rights if the usual notices are
given. In general, the notice has to be visible to anyone who even casually
uses the copyrighted material, so that they know they shouldn't copy it.

You're thinking patents, trademarks, and servicemarks . There is no place one
must go to "register" a copyright. You just stake your claim, and attach a
notice. All that is needed is that is meets certain legal requirements
(format, placement, ...). Then, if someone copies your material, the place
that decides your claim to it is a court of law.

Yep, let's do this, please. It's just that some of us want to share them
without also giving them away, so that the other guy makes all the money on
it.
