Default How to auto assign current year for copyright?

but as it is so easy to change a
date in a computerised document, the date in a copyright notice has very
little value when it comes to proving copyright, no matter what form you
enter it in.


I'd opt for "little" rather than "none". Even a printed date on a
document is not much evidence of publication date, but the law as stated
seems to favour having such a thing rather tan not having it.
