Yep! Copyright inures to the author at the moment the work is fixed in a tangible medium. And yes, courts in the US have ruled that computer memory is a tangible medium. In other words, you key it in, it's a copyright work, and you (or your employer, who is the "author" if you are an employee) is the owner.

If you don't assign a license, then I would think (I'm not a lawyer) that the Berne Copyright convention applies. It is generally in force world-wide. And definitely in Germany. http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/berne/ Yes, I have some serious "hang ups" in this area.
