It may be confusing that the header paragraph Copyright field has not the same
format as the files paragraph Copyright fields (‘line based list’). Perpaps
people writing parsers may comment on this as well…

Since we already replaced all previous occurences of “stanza” by “paragraph”, I
suggest to replace this one as well.

Would ‘Copyright 2008, 2009, 2010 John Smith, Angela Watts’ be also acceptable ?
Especially if the situation is:
Copyright 2008 John Smith
Copyright 2009, 2010 Angela Watts
Copyright 2010 John Smith, Angela Watts
