Warning: About to go lawyering in this post and fill in with IP law explaination.

Yes technically it is copyrighted as soon as it was recorded. Copyrights don't need to be registered, they are automatic.

For instance what I am writing here in this post unless it is a statement of factual information, (think dictionary, phonebook, etc.) or a direct quote it is an artistic expression to which I am entiteld full control of.

You get the point I'm basically saying Hanna-Barbara owns the sound almost perpetually based on the laws in the books now for corporate "works for hire".
