It should, perhaps, be updated to 2009, hm? Or perhaps wait a couple months and change it to 2010.

What do the dates of the copyright statement mean anyway? Are they the dates the copyright was created or last updated?

It is good for it to be up to date, however I doubt it makes a difference. The "original" created content of Frihost belongs to Frihost, whether there is a copyright line or not. I found a good article on the Web that explains it very well and is well worth reading:
Quote:
As a preliminary matter, it is important to remember that copyright protects original works of authorship fixed in a tangible film, and that a work does not become subject to copyright protection through registration. Rather, copyright protection exists in an eligible work from the moment of fixation. That means, the moment you put something in "fixed" form, whether it be by writing it down, recording it, or taking a photo of it, the work has copyright protection.

Yes, of course it is still protected, despite any dates. Just figured it was showing the age a bit, like back in the 90's, when websites would put a 'last updated on _______' at the bottom of the page.
