Yes, you're wrong: the copyright statement is about when the copyright
starts, basically, so it can't be in the future. The duration of the
copyright is then defined based on this information combined with the
law (which is not 5 years, but more like 75 years, or maybe even "75
years after the death of the author", and has changed over the time,
with the tendency being to extend copyright towards infinity, since
those decisions are mostly taken by people who have personal financial
incentives to extend the coverage as much as they can get away with (or
are close to people who have such)).
