I'ts _MUCH_ simpler, to just sign and date a copy of the work, and have a

True.
Without the service of a public registry of copyrighted works that (I think)
only the US offers, and when you need a legally binding "official stamp" of
some sort, you can go to a registered public notary. They're mildly expensive
though; certainly a lot more expensive than the US Copyright Office fees.
Have you ever had something notarized? I have had many things. It is
not generally expensive. They ask $5 - $20 and many banks will have
someone who will do it for for free if you have an account in the bank.
That is much cheaper than doing an officialy USA registration.
What the Notary notarizes is your signature being done at that place and on
that date.

This stream of comments from people who, for reasons I can't quite
fathom, but I like to give them the benefit of the doubt and figure that
they really don't know how provincial they're being, figure that
everything is *just*like*it*is*in*their*country*of*residence* is really
becoming quite tedious. Could we please stop it?
Face it folks, despite global commerce and a heap of treaties, the
low-level mechanics of how banking, the courts, notarizing documents,
applying for patents, registering copyrights, etc., etc., etc. work vary
from country to country, sometimes rather wildly.
