Great thread and it should stay on top. So many of my clients do not bother to secure copyright registration for their content and it hurts them severely. You need a federal copyright registration in order to be able to file an infringement suit in federal court. And with registration you can ask for statutory damages as opposed to actual damages which are much harder to prove. However, the registration has to pre-date the infringement.
