Correct me if I am wrong:

But if you created the work, it is automatically copyrighted and protected. The advantage of filing for a copyright entitles you to have "your" legal fees paid for upon receiving damages. You do not need to file a copyright to send a dmca and to seek damages. You just cant sue the infringer for your legal costs. filing does not give you any more clout in filing a dmca. If it is your work it is your work.
