Thanks for making me reach for my code. But 17 USC 406, that provides a means for dealing with a date error, only applies to pre 1988 works.

So, by using the wrong date do you forfeit all benefits of 17 USC 401 (d)? What if it is less than a one year difference? What if it is more?

Just seems odd that there are provisions for dealing with this pre 1988, but not post 1988.
