> Registering US copyrights hasn't been necessary since 1978.

Under US law, for unregistered works, you can only sue for actual damages 
and the infringer's profits attributable to the intfringement, which for 
an I-D would be pretty hard to show.

Once they're registered, you can sue for statutory damages which can be 
substantial.  See 17 USC 504.
