One might also want to Not delete the earliest Copyright date. Numerous commercial firms lists several copyright years in same file or product start up. When I was editing some of my stuff recently, I decided to leave first & last year in, dont know if thats correct though. I suppose if one really wanted to know what's correct, one could search & read Bern (Switzerland) International Copyright Convention.
