TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In this case, the purpose of hiring a lawyer is to protect yourself
against someone either stealing your content or accusing you of stealing
theirs. You don't necessarily want to hire someone who agrees with you;
you want to hire someone who reduces your risk.
If you don't want to hire anyone, I'd go with Doug Isenberg's free
advice.

Subject: Re: updating copyright notice date ranges
As is usually the case when something is not explicitly addressed by the
laws, lawyers offer conflicting advice on this matter, so if I wanted to
spend money I could hire a lawyer to say that my preferred style is
fine.
