I see, but I don't know if the year field is for last updated date marker, specially when there are multiple copyright holders. Overall I don't know why second date is required at all, assuming first date shows the start date of the work and sets the copyright coverage date. A comment from who knows more about these issues is welcome. Thanks, ferruh
