I've written a short snippet which is an improvement over this, as it supports date ranges, so all you enter is the start date, and then it will display it as just that year, or that year to the current one if applicable

[...] Update Your Copyright Date: My friends laugh at me about this one because one of the first things that I check on a website is the copyright date at the bottom of the page. Check out this article over at FWebDE for an incredibly simple way to automatically update your copyright date. [...]

This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with all of us, it will save me a lot of time! I can't tell you how often I'll wrap up a major update only to have to go back and do the copyright date.
