That is of course the correct solution ;-)

  I also do this. But, theoretically, it's not entirely legal. In other words, if you have a piece of content which has not been changed, but for which you've "automatically" updated the copyright date, you are basically lying about when the content was created. Not sure how this affects any future standing you may have. It's also not really a concern for a reasonably dynamic site, including things like JTV.

    Untested hypothesis: maybe adding some nearly-trivial randomized content, such as a quote from a public domain quote database, can allow you to claim a new copyright each time the page is served?

      Can you legally do something like 2009-2010 where the year in italics is updated automatically?

        I think this amounts to something like (c) Current. I do not think it is legal! But maybe there is a way?

    I wonder: if the team of web site caretakers gets together several times a year, looks at the web pages, sometimes decides to change it, sometimes not -- is it legal enough to put the current copyright? Or, coming from the other side: one could put forward an argument that the contents of a page is regenerated every time anyway (definitely regenerated at the client, and often regenerated on the server as well). I wonder if this argument holds water, I am not a lawyer in any way.
