I think "copyright" is a perfectly good verb, meaning "to create or acquire a copyright". Your point, in part, seems to be that an authors have no need to copyright (verb) his work, because he already holds the copyright (noun). But the fact that it's unnecessary to carry out an action does not rob the word for that action of its verb status.
