And that is proper, I think.
I am not an IP lawyer but I have encountered this topic before. For works that
have been published, then modified and published again in modified form, one
asserts the first year of publishing and the last. Hence 1998-1999. For works
that were only published once, one asserts that one year. Hence 1999 or 2000.
If a work was published last year (1999 for those readers who read this at some
time t where t sub y>2000) and not modified at all, it is incorrect to set the
copyright to 2000.
Now, it is an entirely different and interesting question as to what
constitutes a work. Is all of Lugnet a single work? probably not.. Is each
individual page a separate work? Also probably not.
This is a case where stated intent is usually considered prima facie evidence
of work boundary.
note well that if you dig into my pages you'll find I am blithely ignoring this
advice which may well bite me at some future point
