Why can't one just attach a set of photos printed out on paper with cover as " Literary Works" to the US Copyright office in the idea it will become printed as a coffee table art book? And the 2257 information along with it?

Would this be too much of a slap in the face to our government as we are searching them out with each set rather than them searching us with little warning?

I know they could still search but would it at least be an effort? Or no chance in hell?
