how do I go about copywriting written work eg poetry?

How do I copyright my script and please can I have some information about copyright?
As an author you automatically have copyright over your script, unless you assign it to someone else. You do not have to go through any formal procedure – if you wrote it, and you have not infringed someone else’s copyright, then the copyright is yours. Copyright means that no one can use your work without your permission.

As an author you also have moral rights over what you have written, unless you waive them in a contract. Moral rights include the right to be identified as the author or director of a work as appropriate, the right to object to the derogatory treatment of a work and the right to object to false attribution of a work.

There is a good explanation of UK copyright law on Wikipedia.

ALSO i was told to put a copy of my work into an envelope and send it to myself- and to keep it sealed and safe. The date acts as proof of when you copyrighted.

Is there a grammar rule or copywriting rule on starting a sentence with a number?
