- jgrahamc 2y agoGood to know. I tend to use them as markers of "I started working on this in year XXXX and I last worked on it in year YYYY".
- nemoniac 2y agoCheck the first comment on the linked page for counterpoint. Also note that copyright laws exist outside the US and may differ.

- mubou 2y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the copyright statement actually has any legal effect anymore (Berne Convention of 1886 / 1989 for the US) so it doesn't really matter if there's a year or not. I think it's just informative.
