Are you “Alive and kicking”?
Some customers are afraid of buying online. Afraid that your company isn’t real. And a 3-year old copyright notice at the bottom of the page won’t raise their spirits. So do yourself a favor and keep it up to date. And while you’re at it, insert a time period like “Copyright (c) 2003-2008” to show how long you’re already in business.
If you’re lazy (just like me, I admit it), automate that with a tiny piece of PHP:
Copyright © 2003-<?php print date("Y")?>
To make sure you’re always “alive and kicking”… 😉

Badest idea I ever heared from! So if you are really out of business and your company doesn’t exist anymore, nobody realizes that! Bad idea!

If you’re going out of business, you should have decency to remove your website from the web. I’ve just assumed that you stay in business and don’t want to remember to update your website(s) each January.
