Except that a dynamically updating copyright year without any work having been done may not be legally valid, ie there was no copyrightable step taken... (IANAL)

And in the United States, copyright notices are not even necessary; you own the copyright to your work whether or not there is a notice.

Generally the Berne Convention makes that so in most of the world, not just the US.

> Ever looked at a website and wondered if it is still in operation? Maybe a thing or two looked like they could have been updated – and then you notice the copyright notice the in the footer. "2012. Right, this site must be dead. Let's move along."

(site has a share on Google+ button)

This site is dead.

>> 2012. Right, this site must be dead. Let's move along. To be honest, I love it when I see a fixed date. Some information is time-dependent. Maybe I do move along when I see 2012. no time wasted here. That's a feature!

Isn’t an older copyright date preferable? Could do <start-year>-<current-year>.
