You have to submit a sample with an app with $30 fee for each item you want to copyright.

Putting the copyright symbol on it does didley. After you have it copyrighted and some one uses it with out your permission you then have to file suit for damages. Then you have to prove actual damage by showing they gained and you lost value on use of your work. Based on what I have seen from you you clipping coupons would be a better use of your time
