Actually it is automatic..
Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship 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.
Registering a copyright just makes it easier to go against infringers..
