How can I product that I installed on my computer today have a 2005 copyright date?

Is it legal to make up copyright dates in the future?

I don't know if it's a legal issue, it's whether anyone actually cares. 😛

As for your question, I have no idea.

EDIT: I'm a helpful little bitch, aren't I? I'll stay away next time 😀.

I've always wondered that, I've seen books, movies all that were copyrighted in the next year.

Your product is copywritten in EITHER the year of it's creation or the year of it's registration. If you submit paperwork for your registrations in lumps at the end of the year to save on processing fees, like most bulk-copyrighters, your registrations will be processed in the new year and thus your copyright is in the new year.

So it isn't copyrighted ATM?

Well, technically it is, because it exists. But it's not registered yet.
