As a franchise attorney I can tell you this. The website you mentioned only establishes the date of your copyright, which you can do yourself with a standard copyright notice. They don't register your copyright with Library of Congress Copyright Office, which is the actual way to register and protect your copyright. There is a nominal filing fee involved to do this. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
