[WIP] Search for a scheme or security guarantee...

At least in the United States, copyright itself is inherently and automatically created as soon as an idea is "fixed in a tangible medium of expression".
The "Copyright © $YEAR $COPYRIGHT_HOLDER" boilerplate is not the mechanism by which that right is created. Rather, that statement makes explicit claims about the creation date and holder of that implicit right.

If one were to consider the cryptographic security of those claims, one might define a cryptographic game InfringeCopyright and attempt to prove an upper bound on the advantage wielded by some class of adversaries (subject to certain restrictions on computational power). Such analysis is beyond the scope of this website for two reasons:

Because the outcome of the InfringeCopyright game would be determined by the U.S. legal system in its entirety, any proof would be extremely messy.
Copyright infringement lawsuits are not actually guaranteed to halt. This puts a damper on computational security and statistical security results. Worse still, we probably don't want to claim that a scheme is "secure" if it can result in an infinite legal battle.
