1-Hour Photo Copyright Release

So, I loathe the copyright release forms at the 1-hour photo labs.  Just can not stand them.  And, I'll tell you why.  See this picture on the right?  It's a picture I took and edited for my cousin's upcoming wedding.  I printed two sets of photos without any mention of a copyright release.  Went to pick up my third set and got presented with the good ol' copyright release.  It's not a big deal.  I did take them and I do give myself permission to print them! 

But, seriously, these days you can't reasonably tell the difference between professional pictures and photos taken by an individual.  For starters, who has the right to hold a copyright?  Can I just snap a picture with my camera and automatically have a copyright?  I kind of doubt it would hold up in court. 

Plus, it kind of weirds me out that anyone is looking at the pictures I'm printing.  Not so much with these pictures, but when I print photos of the kids, I just don't like the idea of a stranger going through them.  I want an expectation of privacy.  I think there is a warning when you order your photos online about having the permission to print.  If I proceed with the online order, the photo lab should assume I have permission and leave it at that.  I have never gotten a copyright release from MPIX or Shutterfly, for crying out loud!
