In general this is not a big deal — words are copyrighted the moment you put them on the page
You have to register if you are going to sue someone for infringement, but most authors never have occasion to do that

I personally thought the Epstein files would contain something stupid that only Trump would find really embarrassing (e.g., a copy of his prenup, an admission that Mar-A-Lago is covered in asbestos) until the Dems started really pushing to release them and Trump went crazy
