Hmm... I wonder if there's a good way to get people to show up for my concert tour? I know, how about recording some of my songs and giving them away for free so that they can become fans? Nah, that would be a waste of time. I'm sure they'll just show up because of my cool band name.
I can think of no person more dishonest in the entire IP world.

Registering copyright should be as easy as registering and maintaining a domain name. It's easy and cheap to do but if you don't take responsibility for it you lose it. And it works globally - you don't have to register your domain in every single country. One registration works world wide.

Another problem not mentioned here about today's digital morass is that a good percentage of the images being uploaded to the internet are infringing. They don't belong to the uploader, and the uploader hasn't been given permission to put it online.
So if in the future you do manage to track down the person that uploaded a picture, they'll likely have no copyright interest in the photo, and of course have no clue where it came from (it's likely the image they found was also infringing).
It's a hot mess and we won't have to wait until 2050 before it's a problem. It's already a problem in 2015.
