That's just not true - the creator of a work (typically) holds it's copyright immediately upon creation.Also just a reminder, putting a warning on his OF, that he just copied from somewhere in the internet does not make it instantly copyrighted.
Nothing is copyrighted unless it was in fact registered with the US Copyright Office.
A saying in your bio means nothing.
Registration with a copyright office is just a convenient way of creating a record that you are the rights holder of a work.
