No script (or entity reference) required.
I'm going to take your much appreciated response one bit at a time.
By doing as you suggested, I lose the point of having used the JS in the
first place.
I realise that, but by using javascript to output content, you're not
really separating the layers. You could use a server side script to
generate it or simply use a serve side include file in all your pages,
where you would only have to update it once.
If you really want the client side script, you could do something like this:
<p id="copy">© Cedar Tree Books</p>
var txtCopy = document.getElementById("copy").childNodes.item(0);
var year = (new Date()).getFullYear();
txtCopy.replaceData(1, 0, " " + year);
