I support the current "automatic copyright without needing to be registered" system. I think it helps the little guy, and if we switched to a "copyright on registration" system only big professional companies would ensure they dot their i's and cross their t's, the little guy who takes a photo at would probably not register it, and would have no copyright protection.

If you haven't sold that picture in 20 years, why not let it fall into the public domain (assuming you have already published it)? Now if it is unpublished, then it should stay with the author, from a pure privacy standpoint.
