True with all works (in the US).
Songs, manuscripts etc are all copyrighted
the moment they are recorded/written/notated.
Filing with the LibOfCongress is a value added
move that increases the likelyhood of you prevailing
in a lawsuit, and increases the monetary reward
when you win.
But the stuff is copyrighted even without filing.
And you don't (any longer) have to affix that little
(c) or mention the copyright on the material.
Mailing the stuff to yourself is useless, proven
time and time again so. Registered copyrights
are groovy things.

Can you do that FM disc jockey voice?
Yes, but it doesn't translate well in ascii.www.LumpyMusic.com
I think song titles are the exception to the rule. I often wondered
what legal case lead to that exception.
Youtube is a real wild west of copyright infringement. Just try
getting anything removed from it as a private citizen. There is some
crappy video on it that takes my photos and converts them to a
sequence of images. Worse of all, the soundtrack is "Mr. Sandman."
Back to copyrights, one interesting court case had to do with
"Stanford". You would think a person's name is copyrighted, but
apparently not. You would think a university with billions in assets
could protect their name, but apparently not. Thus you can have
Stanford Towing, stuff like that. But try having Mickey Mouse Towing
or McDonalds Towing!
As you probably know, Mickey Mouse (Disney) is the source of all
copyright time extensions. Without changing laws, Mickey Mouse would
have fallen into public domain.
So, it looks like the dirt is there to block the view of the planes
(JANET) on the runway. What do you think? Your photo clearly shows
that they were not trying to block the door with the dirt.
