In the foreground a kid seems to be drowning. It is labeled “Useful information”.

In a second panel a skeleton sits at the bottom of the pool. It is labeled “The copyright year”

Not that a date in a file really is valid evidence, but the point is to define when the copyright occurs. If i come back and say "well i did that same thing before you did" them it would make your copyright invalid.

If you update then you add an additional date.
