    Works created on or after January 1, 1978, are not subject to renewal registration. - copyright.gov

    Which makes me kinda laugh that websites continue to put
    ©1999-2012 as if they were creating years on a tombstone. Are they implying they are renewing every year? seems improper when a company or website just needs to put the year they've registered their work. Some people renew copyrights on the condition that a change of ownership has taken place.
