Although private and government agencies accept and process copyright registrations, those entities don’t normally address alleged copyright infringement claims. As the creator, owner, or holder of the copyrighted material, it’s up to you to enforce your rights to stop the infringing activity.

So if that is how the copyright is written, why is government stepping in…I read that as it is the ‘copyright holders’ responsibility to go after the infringers…not Uncle Sam…
