That strikes me as incorrect. If the contents of the website haven't been updated since last year, how can you claim that they are 'copyrighted' in this year?

It seems to me that the copyright date should be updated whenever the actual content of the site is updated (and no earlier).

- wongarsu 4y agoI doubt that passes the threshold of originality. All actually copyrighted content is still the same as the year before.
- bazoom42 4y agoThe year in a copyrigt notice is supposed to be the year when the work was first published. So updating just the year would technically be wrong. That said, it doesn’t matter much since the notice is purely informational - it doesnt actually alter the copyrigt of the work. If you want the notice to protect against infringing, surely you want to state the earliest year possible. But some read the notice as “page last updated” in which case you want it as recent as possible. But why not just write “last updated…” then?
