Any work you create is probably under copyright automatically, if your country is party to the Berne convention.
In Germany only stuff that has a certain level of creativity (Schöpfungshöhe) can be under copyright.
And how is that determined? I found the shit that I took this morning immensely creative.
It needs a certain level of individuality and personality of the creator that sets it apart from other, already existing works of art.

Would that be a way - have lots of your self created stuff on any device and then sue the corpos or sth for gaining illegal access to copyrighted materials in case they search it?
For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.
