After just reading a few mails of this topic, I want to mention, that there's a difference between "copyright" and "right of publication". Don't mix "copyright" and "related rights".
In Germany "copyright" is named "Urheberrecht", translated word by word it's "creator-right". In Germany we know the "Vervielfältigungsrecht", this is the right of publication, the right of reproduction, translated word by word "copy-right" ;). AFAIK it's similar for most countries. The "copyright" has less to do with "coping", it's about the authorship. A creator automatically owns the copyright, no registration is needed. It's impossible to assign/transfer the copyright, it's only possible top assign/transfer the right of publication, the right of reproduction.
