The way that I understand it, a trademark can be registered to a CPL (UK equivalent to an LLC) but copyright, if registered, has to go to a person. Although I believe that some states in the US allow anonymous copyright via LLC.

I am far from being a lawyer, but this makes sense to me - a trademark is designed to be associated with a brand, copyright is designed to designate a person/group as something's creator.

But I thought you don’t have to register copyright? I thought you just had it automatically as soon as you make something?

it's not registering copyright that is the problem, but claiming a copyright violation that requires revealing of his identity, because in order to make the claim you have to prove that you have legal standing to do so.
