Question

Is there a way I can get a copyright protection on a poem that I wrote without, paying huge sums of money??

(No spams or false answers pls. Dont waste the answer slots by writing 'I dont know' or any such thing)​

Hey mate hope it help.... all the best

You do NOT have to pay to "own" your copyright. You have copyright on any creative work you document in "fixed" form. That is, when you write something, you have copyright over the material. When you record a song you created, you have copyright over that rendition of the song.

It gets complicated when you record a song someone else wrote, and in lots of other cases.

You register copyright to reserve the right to sue for damages when your rights are infringed. It costs $35 to register a copyright for each item, kinda. (there are some bulk packages and I don't understand them.)
