Human being with feelings
Copyright on main site
Copyright on main site needs to reflect 2010

This may seem trivial, or even unimportant, but it is VERY valid.

Not necessarily valid, even. Updating the year from 2009 to 2010 would amount to a legal claim that any modifications done in 2010 to the homepage would in themselves merit the protection of copyright law. I dunno, but not much has changed since 2009 except for the "Latest: [...]" bit at the top. The date and version number mentioned are factual data that are as such not protectable under copyright law (even in the silly old US, says the Feist case), so it comes down to the question of copyrightability of the slogan "OS X love for a new decade" where at least the "OS X" bit would not qualify as "original" since some other company uses that for a well known trademark for quite some time now.

Just my two grand (lawyers don't think in cents). ;P
