"Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright."

"When is my work protected?
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device."

This site has a lot of info in layman's terms (imagine that, the government did something useful):

I'm definitely not an attorney, but I remember that The NY Times has something regarding copying and disseminating copywritten material from their website. They grant you permission to reprint alomst anything as long as the NYT is credited as the source using a particular format.
