A useful copyright statement has one of these forms:
Copyright YYYY, YYYY, YYYY CopyrightHolderName
Copyright © YYYY, YYYY, YYYY CopyrightHolderName
The list of publication years is essential (since copyright is
theoretically not held forever). In a copyright notice, the word
"Copyright", the abbreviation "Copr.", and the "©" copyright symbol
are all interchangeable; but the sequence '(C)' is legally null, so
use the proper symbol instead.
