Regarding the above © 2000-05, I'm not quite clear about it! Does it mean 2000-2005? If so, what about 2006? Who owns the copyright for 2006?

Explanation: The notation "2000-05" likely refers to the years 2000 through 2005, indicating that the copyright is valid for content created during this period. For content created in 2006 or later, it would depend on whether the company updated their copyright notice. If no new notice was added after 2005, it does not necessarily mean they lost copyright—it just means they haven't updated the range. Typically, companies update this range periodically to reflect ongoing ownership of newly created works.
