Put a copy of it in an envelope and mail it to yourself. Use stamps, not a meter, so you will get a postmark.
Voila! Now you're copyright-protected.

I think you can pay a 50$ fee to Congress or one of those places for them to officially copyright it. Or you can mail it to yourself and not open your written work. Put it in a safe or bank.

The mailing trick doesn't work any more. Not sure it ever did.
I'd use the link that wayne c offered just to cover my behind.

do it the old fashioned way. mail it to yourself and keep it in the envelope so that there is a postmarked date on it. and there its copywrited!
hope this helped!
make sure to make yourself a copy to show off!
