Copyrights don't cost money, when you create something you automatically own the copyright to it. But you should always have proof that you made it at the time you started it.
One trick is to mail it to yourself with whatever needs to be protected in it. So if your ever in court, you have proof you had it first. Also I think the longest you have to wait for a copyright to be no longer in effect is 80 years (I think.)
