OK, a question to all.

Why do you need to change the copyright date? I dont have a date on my copyright signature.

In UK copyright is for 70 years from its creation date. It doesnt therefore require a date unless you wish to assign it to another person in which case the copyright period is 25-30 years. I cant temember this detail.

Of course if you are a lawyer then this becomes more complex as it is of interest in litigation.
We do love to make simple thing complex!

In USA this is different. Biggest difference is that copyright extends to 70 years post the death of the creator.
