Should be fast.
Too fast change also will make users lost their way.
So I suggest Google chang a little publish a news, then after users understand, change a little.

I don't think that it needs to change until new content appears. It's still copyrighted even thought it says 2006 instead of 2007 as the copyright exists from when it was first written.

Home page (.com and .co.uk) has changed! google.com/ig hasn't though.

The language tools read (c) 2004 up until about three months ago, so I doubt it will be changing shortly.

You'd presume that Google would use a script to automatically get this current year (eg, get the system date and use the year from that).

Actually by US law you don't need the (C) symbol – your content is automatically copyrighted. It wasn't always like this, but the copyright lobby is strong :)

[Note: I'm a law amateur so I might get some details wrong – this is how I remember it]
