Copyright at the Digital Media Licensing Association (DMLA)
Here is an excerpt from one of their documents on registration, also linked underneath:
"Registration is not required for copyright protection, but is a prerequisite before United States authors can bring an action for infringement in federal court. While foreign authors may bring an action in federal court without securing a registration certificate, registration of the work before an infringement occurs will affect the type of damages available to the author.
If registration is made within three months after publication of the work or prior to an infringement of the work, statutory damages and attorney's fees will be available to the copyright owner in court actions. Otherwise, only an award of actual damages or profits will be available to the copyright owner. When the infringement is a use of an unregistered photographed, the measurement of actual damages is a license fee or a multiple thereof."
