A little more reading on the subject. Please pay attention to what Musicrowlawyer says in this thread. Especially at the end. It's left a little hanging, but he cites chapter and verse on the subject toward the end. Also, there are a couple good links in the thread that other folks posted too...

Here is the attorney's site...

And you can read what he has there about copyrights as well.

What I get from this is that by the letter of the law, the only way you can bring suit and collect full damages is to register the copyright. The question left hanging in the end is that there may be some wiggle room around that. But still, it sounds like it might be a crap shoot at that point.
Happy reading...
