Ownership Before Publication
Even before the author or composer has published the work, he is already the owner of the creation. To protect his right, however, he must ask for a copyright if he intends the work to be published. Unless the copyright is obtained, the ownership by him will be lost. Mere circulation among close friends and associates, notwithstanding, is not considered publication. (See Mansell v. Valley Printing Co., 15 Ann. Cos. 133).

source: Civil Code of the Philippines
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18

It's cslled publication when it is distributed or sold however small or big the scale is. Copytight begins when it is set on a fixed form (e.g., notation, cd, cassette, poster, etc). This is International Copyright under Geneva Convention
