In the USA, you have copyright the moment the work is created, i.e. the
copyright is an inherent or innate part of the work's existence.

However, adding the copyright notice gets you protection in countries
other than the USA.  I think the "Berne Convention" covers copyright,
not sure about that.

I take a pencil and a piece of paper.  I draw a smiley face (my art
skills are limited after all).  I have copyright on that artwork.
