Let me ask:
Why Hyperion was spreading AmigaOS beta with false copyright information?
Under US law, at least, there's no requirement to display a copyright notice at all (work is automatically copyrighted at the moment of creation; licenses 'patch around' the default protections of copyright), and so the notice itself is nothing special, just a way to give yourself some credit and warn would-be pirates away from your work. No idea how Germany, Benelux(?), or the EU works.
