Copyright protection automatically applies to original works of authorship, including books, from the moment they are created and fixed in a tangible form, such as being printed. While registering with the Copyright Office provides additional benefits and legal protections, it is not necessary for the copyright to exist. The duration of copyright protection for works created by individuals (like Steve) is generally the life of the author plus 70 years, meaning that it will last well beyond Steve's lifetime.
