The year really should be included. At least in the US, not having a
year in the notice appears to make the notice worthless. Quoting Title
17 USC Sec. 401(b):
(b) * Form of Notice.— *If a notice appears on the copies, it shall
consist of the following three elements:
(1) the symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word
“Copyright”, or the abbreviation “Copr.”; and
(2) the year of first publication of the work; in the case of
compilations, or derivative works incorporating previously
published material, the year date of first publication of the
compilation or derivative work is sufficient. The year date may
be omitted where a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with
accompanying text matter, if any, is reproduced in or on
greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or
any useful articles; and
(3) the name of the owner of copyright in the work, or an
abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally
known alternative designation of the owner.
