I guess I just use it as a proxy to show how long the site has been up. I use a range in the footer on that project:
© Copright 2006-2010
Probably dumb but I do find myself looking in the footer of sites to see how active it is.
- sbov 14y agoWe do this, but make the later date dynamic. So it will always say Copyright <year>-<current year>
- aidenn0 14y agoIs that legal? If you don't make any changes the copyright date shouldn't change.
- eru 14y agoSince those notices aren't required, I don't know whether they have any legal status at all.
- JoshTriplett 14y agoTheoretically, the copyright date tells you when the copyright will expire: a work Copyright 2000 will become public domain ten years sooner than one Copyright 2010. However, since neither of those seem likely to ever expire in the first place, this mostly only matters with very old works (around the start of last century).
