Don't forget!

Something I usually do forget: Change the date in your copyright info in ALL of your cameras! I did two of them yesterday. I'll do the other two tomorrow. Usually I forget until I have the first set up in LR and have to take the time to change it! Granted, it's easy but it's one more step and time we don't have to spend.

Things like that should be a no brainer for any item containing a computer to do on its own. Your camera has a clock that knows what the date is.
Two of my cameras are in storage while I'm in temporary quarters so it will be a couple months before I have access to them so I can do it.
But of course it doesn't matter since I can't take any pictures with those cameras.

Nikon don't have a date, just the artist and copyright owners name...

Forgive my ignorance but why the date of the copyright has to be changed? I have never missed with the copyright of my photos and actually I have never cared.
What is important about it and why should I change it?

Some people are anal about their images and don't want anyone else to use or otherwise claim them. A copyright in the metadata will not prevent that, but it gives notice that someone has laid claim to the image. The date is slightly important by dating the claim because a copyright has a limited lifetime.
If you REALLY don't want anyone to use of claim your images (1) you should register your copyright (there's a fee, of course); and/or (2) you should not present your image to the public. If you register your copyright it's up to you to watch out for someone else using your image and be ready to lawyer up to pursue your claim.
For the hoi polloi, it's not important at all. If you don't derive income from your photos, why should you care?

My Sony's were done New Years Eve. A reminder is on my phone calendar.

Things like this are worth forgetting as they are meaningless toward establishing 'ownership' of an image in a way you can defend your copyright of the image. That formal copyright is done via registering your image(s), formally, with the US Copyright office, or your own local jurisdiction. Whether you put your name and 2024 or Mickey Mouse and 1924 in the camera, these both are equally meaningless.

Absolutely correct on the registration requirement to bring suit in federal court. However having copyright info in the metadata can help and if changed opens up additional penalties.

Now that's interesting. A copyright isn't legal if it doesn't have the copyright symbol and the year. I wonder if you can add it.
