The examples give 260 as an alternative to 264. It is clearly stated that "MLA strongly recommends using the 264 field." (Footnote 12 on page 17.) However, while it's clear, it's certainly not prominent. I would suggest they try to find some way of saying it more loudly. > I was also suprised to see the copyright > symbols used in 260 examples, as opposed to "c" and "p". This isn't surprising to me at all. RDA has no provision for using "c" or "p". It's either the symbol, or the word "copyright" or "phonogram". Using "c" or "p" with the date is a pre-RDA convention.
