How do you copyright graphics?

How do you copyright your graphics? Is there a certain place that you have to register them or something, or do you just have to attach a notice that they are copyrighted? Do you have to pay a fee somewhere?

If I'm not mistaken, you made it, so you have rights to it no matter what. I don't think you have to pay a fee and register it.

It doesn't matter what you put on it, anything that is your original work is automatically copyrighted. The copyright will only be void 70 years after the authors death.

it is still always good to put your name or alias on the image to insure that people notice that it is copyrighted to you.

Freedom Fighter has a good point. If you create graphix in a mass scale you are probably better off to create a LOGO to watermark in your graphics. To show you are the one who designed it. Watermarking is available in most Graphix programs.
