or use the last modified variable in server-side includes to change the
dated based on the last time it was updated

this is what I use for the last modified date
<!--#config timefmt="%b %d %Y, %I:%M %p %Z" -->
This document last modified <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->

you could probably do something like
<!--#config timefmt="%Y" -->
Copyright <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->
